Okie(s) in Florida

A foursome of us went out for drinks tonight.

My coworker, a fiery Puerto Rican lady, called our locale of choice “that tacky Irish bar.”

I almost reminded her that, as an Irishman, I can attest that we’re all tacky.

That being said: Happy Hour till 9 p.m. means $2 domestic drafts.

In.

We sat outside at this place, situated on the New River that flows near the building, until about 8 p.m. For those of you who don’t know, some call Ft. Lauderdale the “Venice of America” because of the extensive canals that go through the city.

The New River is one of those canals.

It’s no big thing to watch multi-million dollar yachts roll down the canals headed toward the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s definitely a change of pace for this Okie.
