Let Us Spread the World With Sunshine #2
My Grandfather was a career bartender. The kind of fellow who would light your smoke over the bar, adjust his tie-clip, and make sure your change included a fifty-cent piece or a silver dollar.
He also had a fascination with his Polaroid Land Camera -- taking it with him to work and snapping photos of snappy guys and gals that he would probably never see again. His shining moment, though he wasn't aware of it, was the fact that he bartended in the same ballroom that the Shining was filmed in. Wish I could have made that connection before he passed on (though I dojn't think I would have shown him the entire movie).
Cheers!
