Last Day at the Bar

I just finished my last day at the bar on Saturday. I started working at the bar when it opened and have enjoyed watching it grow from infancy. The pleasure of interacting with a great group of co-workers and some fabulous guests is something that I will never forget and treasure. I hope that as time moves on each person that I had the opportunity to meet through the bar stays in touch. It is easy to forget what makes this industry great. We become caught up in the moment, ignoring the finality of the situation. However, eventually, we must confront our departure and recognize that it is time to move on. I am glad that in my moment of reflection, I realize that I made some lifelong friends and learned more about the bar business than at any other place I worked at. I just want to say thank you to all the people who collectively changed my life and shaped my future.
