Welcome to the first Saturday of 2022, the first day for that matter, and welcome to The Island View Bar and Grill. Huh? More about that after we get our drinks. We have a lot to discuss today. In addition to wrestling with Linda G. Hill's Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt, this is also the first day of Linda's fun and exciting Just Jot January series. You can read about that challenge here. I guess we better get started.
"Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: 'resolve.' Use it as a noun or a verb. Have fun!"
If we were having a beer, you'd have a few question.
"Happy New Year David, Dan"
"Happy New Year, Cheryl."
"Dan, I might have a surprise for you. There's a Corona tap handle. You up for a draft?"
"That sounds delightful."
"David, what can I get you to kickstart twenty-twenty-two?"
"A John Howell's Special and some answers."
"Uh oh."
"Uh oh? You must know what I'm going to ask."
"Huh? No, that was for Dan. Skippy must have forgotten to change the tap handle after the Corona kicked – this is Back East Winter Lager."
"I don't normally drink dark beers, Cheryl, but I'll give it a try. No sense wasting it."
"OK but it's on the house. I'll get a cold Corona – bottle – ready in case you don't like it. Here' have some seltzer to wash this down. David, here's your bourbon, seltzer, ice and cherries."
"Thanks Cheryl. Now, about those answers…"
"What's the question?"
"What's the question? I come into the bar, and it has a new name. Was it sold? Is there a new owner? Are you under new management? Will you still carry John Howell's Bourbon? Will…"
"Whoa, David, stop for a minute. Nothing has changed. Same owner. Same bourbon. Same menu. Same good-looking bartender. We decided we needed a better name, and the owner wanted to resolve the issue by the end of last year."
"But 'Island View Bar and Grill?' Why that? What island?"
"The one right out there in the river."
"Cheryl, when you say 'island,' people think of Hawaii, The Bahamas, tropical places, white sand beaches. They don't think about rocks, dirt and saw grass in a river."
"Yes, but since we added the patio, and people want to eat outside – because, you know, covid – the island is in view. People ask about it all the time."
"But we drink at the bar. Why not let us have a vote?"
"A vote, David?"
"Yes, Dan. A vote. You know, one of those crowd things you techies love to have."
"I think he means 'crowd sourced' Cheryl."
"Yeah, right."
"What would be wrong with that, Cheryl?"
"David, do you remember when the British government crowdsourced a name for their new research ship?"
"I don't, what did they come up with?"
"Boaty McBoatface. That's why we decided not to let the public vote on this one."
"Dan, you're awfully quiet. What do you think about the new name?"
"I like it, David. 'Island View' seems like a good place to relax. Which we could be doing if you'd let this thing go."
"I feel cheated."
"Well, if you want to vote, I have just the thing to satisfy your desire."
"And what would that be, Dan?"
"You can vote for the Twenty-twenty-two Thursday Doors Badge."
"Really? How do I do that?"
"You get my blog notices, right? Or did WordPress drop you, too?"
"I get them, but I have to re-subscribe every week."
