Yesterday was an awesome day but there was one snafu that has bled into today. I went to a podiatrist to get my toe looked at. I have a plantar's wart on my big toe ( Damn gym and the pool area). I hate even saying it. It grosses me out. So I went to this doctor and asked him to cut it out. " Cutting out doesn't guarantee that you get rid of it because it may grow back."...

Yesterday's gratitude goes to my neighbors Mark and Marty ( short for Martha). Mark came out yesterday and removed the base of my christmas tree knowing that Jackson and I had fucked it up and the garbage company would not collect it as we left it. So nice of him. I didn't even ask. They are a nice couple and I now consider them friends. Today's gratitude goes to my sister. My mother doesn't have alzheimers but she definitely has...

Thank you San Antonio. The only bar that did well last night . Daniel emailed me saying he wants to meet face to face to talk about some changes he wants us to make . Face to face . Ok just wear deoderant and we can have this meeting. Today's gratitude goes to Tom from Milwaukee . There is nothing harder then running a struggling bar. He works 6 days a week. Half the time the temperature hovers around zero...

Today's gratitude goes to Matthew , AM New Orleans. Very profession. Anything that gets asked of him gets done. He's a dad, an actor, and our AM. Very hard worker. Thank you Matthew for all your hard work and dedication. Bam the bars rallying on New Year's Day for some super strong numbers. Nashville, San Antonio, and San Diego coming in strong.

Last night I was invited out by a few new women friends in SD. We went to a sushi/nightclub called Bang Bang in the Gaslamp. 2014 was the " Young Men" love me year. " Can I buy you a drink? You look just like Penelope Cruise in the movie Blow." Dude if I really looked like Penelope Cruise I wouldn't be talking to you and I would dominate the world!! But thank you for the compliment. " Liliana all...

Woke up at 2:30 am with the sounds of pouring rain and the flash of a text message from Daniel " incident in Milwaukee . Someone got sucker punched". Another day at the office. The Milwaukee location has been an example of a city's changing entertainment areas. When we opened that bar water street was the busy area for nightlife . We were only opened a few months when there was a shooting on our block and things have gotten...

I am so moved. Daniel sent me a present for the Holidays. " To the Beacon of Bartending, Just wanted to say thanks for being the best boss ever and for also being the beacon of bartending. May our 2015 be better then our 2014! Daniel" I love that. In my day I was the damn beacon of bartending!!! Tonight I am taking out Tiffany for her birthday with Mac and Dinesti! Ruth Chris here we come.

Ah the holidays . Jackson and I are in Raleigh, NC visiting my family . So far nothing too crazy . The deterioration in my mom's health is unbelievable . She is wheel chair bound permently . We have this delusion that aging creates a kindness and more gentile demeanor . No it just exentuates the already existent personality . So crazy gets crazier . My mom's family in Colombia wants her to go to Colombia. We talked about this...

How is Santa going to come when the Saturday numbers are so bad? Urgh!! Went shopping with Jackson yesterday. " Mom, dad and I have a cheap gene you don't need to get Dad a present." Dude you are getting your father a present regardless of the cheap gene. Every year we go through this. " Mom I don't want anything." He knows I am going to get him something regardless. There is a part of me that would love...

One of my son's former classmates and my friend's son had a 7 hour surgery today . I have felt sick all day just thinking how scared his mom must feel. My understanding was that his sternum wasn't growing so the surgery was a kind of open heart surgery to alleviate the pressure of his sternum on his heart . He just got out of surgery . He lost a lot of blood so he's getting a transfusion but he...

Only 10:30 and my morning Obama Care email just came to me. Hard to be a liberal when f Obama Care is killing small businesses . Urgh. Today I ran outside then did these steep hill runs on the treadmll. The woman on the treadmill next to me was a severely anorexic woman. She was truly a walking skeleton . My heart broke for her . As I was struggling to keep my speed up while On a level 9...

My swim coach asked me why I haven't been coming to the gym. Without getting into specifics I said " I got dumped." His response in a very emphatic way " when you get dumped that's when you go out and get ripped !" Ok ok Yesterday Dinesty texted me and said she was bored and needed a physical challenge . Low and behold I made her a swim lesson today ! Awesome I feel another triathlon coming on. IMG_3894
