Hee, Pix, you in particular can picture Dave sauntering into the cowboy bar, and the affect it might have.

I may have chortled. Out loud. In a public place. The best part is that he didn’t just say, “Thanks, but I’m married. This is my wife.”

Btw, I know you have an interest in Asian history--I thought you in particular might enjoy the Pacific Asia Museum here in town. It has a stellar reputation, and I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never been. I think the best part of people coming to visit is that it forces you to be a tourist in your own city.

I'm merely commenting on the amount of sought-out chaos in that closed system.

I'm sorry--I missed the implication that it would be entirely positive if nothing ever happened in bars.

That reminds me of a Cory Branan song

I love you. And that song.

There's no such implication. But I'm not sure what inference you're drawing from my comment.
