// I hear my name and take another look. Why are all the interesting places so dimly lit? Isn't it the century of magic light emanating from microscopic Light Emitting Devices? I do know, that I have reached the age which entitles me to tell the youngsters "Switch on the light when reading, will you?" Hmmm. Someone is rushing through the "Another Door" to the work shed giving way to an well illuminated scene for a moment. I see! Looks like rosie88 has lifted her glass.

Cheers, Rosie88! Would you mind my company? You wouldn't mind? That's kind, thank you.

// The bartender has seen this coming, somehow. Intelligent guy. Before I have grabbed my paper journal and other stuff he is juggling my drinks towards rosie88s table. I'm impressed.

Thank you, bartender!

Hello Rosie88, how are you?

// I can see the complicated part coming up: relativistic round trip delays and high levels of improbability and nerd speak ...

As I hurry back outside, all cought up in my renovations, I notice a new face.

"Hey there, fellow Midknight! Good to see you up here, welcome to Pub."

I look up from my laptop screen and smiles as I see ew approach. The sight of the bartender playing a juggling act with filled glasses had me chuckling a little. As ew approached I say cheerfully, "Thank you for joining me. I was just adding a few touches to some disgustingly complicated HTML code. A good friend of mine wanted me to build him an e-commerce site, it is almost done, thank the stars." I go for my glass of whiskey and takes a sip. I add, "Other than the headache of dealing with coding, I am well thank you. How have you been?" I put the glass down, I look towards the bartender and say, "Can you please get me another whiskey and water and get my friend whatever he wants, thank you" I shut down the laptop and turn my full attention at ew with a smile I am all ears now.
