I’m slowly allowing myself to visit places that I haven’t gone to in over a year. Yes, I sat at a bar and made this contrasty black and white. This is not just a bar, but the bar section of a restaurant. Let me explain.

Two weeks ago, on Mother’s Day, my wife had a sudden hankering for a steak. We were planning a general celebration but quickly changed plans. Our new target restaurant was already fully booked for this special day. But it was early, and they had spots at the bar. This worked great since my younger son decided to stay at home.

I’m drinking the strong stuff these days. On the left, a glass of water, and on the right, carbonated water. I’ve all but given up the sweet sugary drinks and wasn’t in the mood for alcohol. My wife did order a couple of Margaritas, however.
