So I went to E9 for the first time the other day since Jan left. It had been about a month since I'd been in there and it was very wierd without him but I slowly reacclimated myself to the place. I went by myself after work (and before school) for a quick bite and a beer. It was the first sunny day in spring and it was so nice and peaceful. I really enjoyed the experience. With a beer club under my belt, I got to know everyone at the bar pretty well and the regulars too. It really is the place where everyone knows your name. Sam was waiting tables that afternoon. It was great to see her again. She's super nice and such a decent person. Kind of a rare quality these days.
