Pros and Cons of the Friday Afternoon Happy Hour
- Pro: One stiff drink and a scant selection of appetizers will leave you feeling ready for the deepest of conversations and also, a glass of wine
- Pro: the food to drink ratio will facilitate easy-going ruminations on topics such as roots and their superficiality (or not), the existence of “non-voters”, and how to plan for the next five to seven years of your life
- Pro: you will come home at a reasonable hour feeling full of vigor and ready for anything!
- Con: you are not currently in a state to drive anywhere
- Con: you live in St. Paul. Is anything happening there?
- Pro: your social requirement for Friday is technically done and it doesn’t matter if nothing is going on in St. Paul because YOU can finally watch the Bill Cunningham documentary! (Provided Netflix is not being a stupid-head.)
- Pro: You can also plan the next five to seven years of your life!
- Con: While you are a little drunk.
- Pro: But isn’t that the best time to do that, maybe? At least in the brainstorming sense?
- Con: It’s 7:41 and you could be asleep by 8:30, no problem.
- Pro: Unless you make a hot toddy!
- Pro: Done.
BONUS QUOTE FROM HAPPY HOUR: “Portland is like a Montessori school for 25-year-olds.”
