Oh, I hope it's just a harmless hobby, but one of my indulgences is to check out the wide range of table settings in the NorthBeach area of San Francisco on a quiet Sunday morning.

A napkin that has stiffly stood all night guarding the s & p, goblets, and silverware.

Slip-proof glasses -- what a great idea... Oh, did I ever tell you I was a slobbering drunk for a good (?) portion of my life? I could have used a slip-proof glass, back in the day... Oh Lord, the time I wasted.

Oh yes, bars... Most of these establishments hide a sledge-hammer under the bar in the rare case that some customer isn't getting smashed enough. Really.

Always love to see the table settings you find.
Happy you don't need a slip-proof glass anymore. (:0)
