The Odds and The Ends

A nice shout out to this chilly November week in California. I got to feel 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, in a remarkable week of weather. I got to jog in chilly 5 AM weather then golf in 70s and sunshine. For those of you who say you don’t like California, well, I like it just fine. Another wacky week has come and gone, and as we face Thanksgiving and more shutdowns, be good to your fellow peeps and please, don’t let the differences outweigh the similarities between us all.

Bartender (s) of the Week

My Bartenders of the Week are coming at you in a combo deal and a Sunday tag team. Two of my favorite girls are Jessica Bader and Erica Rokuskie and they rock out every Sunday and are a great duo. You can find them working together every Sunday at one of my favorite spots, The Hangar Inn, owned by two great legends, Harold Kinsley and Dean Moss.

STATS: Gotta be careful here, these are my first two female bartenders. So Jess is 6′ and Erica is…. 5’3? Sorry ladies if I’m wrong.

Kryptonite: For Jess, anything before 9:30 AM is Kryptonite. Erica- Unicorns.

Fun Facts: Jess’ husband, Stefan, is a Boring Driller. So boring. And, both Jessica and Erica are members of my Annual All-Zucchini team. I will explain what that means next August.

These are two great ladies and dear friends of mine. Please go visit them at The Hangar.

This week’s A Tip of the Cap goes to the staff at Lazy Acres on Artesia. I always get my deli meats and seafood there and the staff is always there with a smile and a nice chat. It’s a nice little comfort every Monday when I shop.

A Wag of the Finger to slow golfers in front of me. There is nothing that takes away from the great game of golf like a lolly-gagger making a brisk 3 1/2-4 hour round into a five or six-hour round. Listen buddy, that extra practice swing isn’t going to cure your slice, Cha Cha. Show some etiquette and pick up the pace.

That’s it for me this week and I thank you for reading. Feel free to share Where the 91 Ends with your friends. If you have any bartenders you’d like to honor or have any Tip of the Caps or Wag of the Finger peeves, let me know. Until next time, my friends, take my advice; pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
