You're the reason God made Oklahoma

Enjoyed happy hour with a smattering of Okies Thurs. night at Tom and Jerry's. Bob & I had our birthday party there like 10 years ago. It's funny how this bar hasn't changed much over the years. The premise/draw is still the same ... it's a bar bar that attracts a somewhat artsy, literary crowd. Lots of seats and it never gets too packed. It's always comforting to see a bar in NYC stand the test of time without evolving for the worse.

Later (yes, yet another later for me this week) we went to Route 85A for another drink.

Grossest thing I've overheard in a while:
"I drank his urine... That's how close we are." -- a guy on a cell phone outside Route 85A
