“Jesus said that the Son of Man did not come to be served but to SERVE. So the modern bartender is not just a link to our past and the 2nd oldest profession known to man. He (or she) is the High Priest presiding on the altar of Sacrifice, and serving us the Water of Life (which is the meaning of the Celtic word for whiskey, “uisce beatha” pronounced “ish-kih-bah-hah”). So here’s to ya Bartender. Again!!”

Joe Heary, director of FoNP, accepted said booty with such cheer and gratitide that we threw in some festive caroling for good measure. Several diners kicked vocals and one regular, Russ, even joined in on harp. Hmm, I see a made for TV holiday movie in the making…. But thanks again everyone for making the benefit successful!

However, I can say that I Am Ready for winter. Crisp cold air that takes your breath away. The sound of frozen crunchy snow under your feet.

Let’s not forget POND HOCKEY. C’mon now! We’ve all ” squeezed the stick and pulled the trigger!” Pretending that we were Bobby Orr. A hockey game on the tube almost every night. Cold Beer, Bowling the list goes on and on.

McCarthyizm also has a couple of shows in Buffalo, NY this December.

December 17th – Annual McCarthyizm Christmas Show at Nietzsche’s

December 31st – McCarthyizm and The Lowest Of The Low at the Town Ballroom
