Rant: being socially awkward

[Radbird]

I'm going to test my awkwardness tomorrow night. I have the night to myself as I'm visiting the kid and she is going to Fenway with the school she's interning at. I'm going to a neighborhood Mexican restaurant and then Paddy's Lunch bar (voted Boston's best dive bar and despite it's name serves no food). Wearing Cards cap. Maybe Musial shirt. We'll see how it goes. Both are walking distance from the apartment so it doesn't matter how much I imbibe.

Oh man, good luck at Paddy's. Should be alright, they must love the Cards now that we've given them 2 WS in the last 10 years.

Oh man, good luck at Paddy's.

Talk to me.

It's about as townie as they come, but thanks to the internet, that's probably softened a bit over the years. I would have said to steer clear if you're not from the neighborhood, but I'm sure you'll be more than fine. I'd probably avoid the hot dogs and eat elsewhere though.

How'd you fare, Radbird?

I've found that a lot of times someone asks a small talk type question that they want you to ask them. If they ask about your kids (not you, I mad) they hope to be able to tell you how their kid was named student of the month for the 3rd grade. So if someone asks me a question I give a short answer and ask them the same thing and they start talking and I can daydream and nod my head. And drink in peace.

Don't know yet - tonight's the night

Rained out. Not walking 2 miles in the rain to go to a dive bar. So I stayed home and finished the kid's hard cider.
