Hey, it's summer in DC.
Things are a bit slow.
But just wait till August: DC is a ghost-town then. Seems like the city evacuates in August. Nobody is around then!
Still working part-time at Rock Creek Restaurant in Bethesda.
Rock Creek in Washington closed last October. But hey, it was a good run. Really miss that location. (Same ownership for both restaurants).
What do DC bartenders do during the slow summer months?
Well, for one thing, it doesn't hinder the way we tip our fellow bartenders when we go out. (Some things are etched in stone).
We just may not go out as often.
Personally, I'm just taking things in stride. Summer is summer, that's just the way it is.
I read a lot, but I read a lot all year round. I think I spend more money on books than food.
Just finished "The Lotus Eaters" by Tatjana Soli. Absolutely brilliant! Her writing is impeccable! It's a novel about a female photojournalist covering the Viet Nam war. One of the best reads I've come across in a long time. If anyone wants to learn how to write, just read and study her book. The flow of her paragraphs is seamless. Can't wait for her next book.
Meanwhile, I think I'm going to audition for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"..............................!
