Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette

I spend a lot of time in bars drinking beer.  I don’t spend as much time (or money) as I use to as a younger man but now as an older man bars are still part of my social network.

As a matter of fact, since I’m a life long bachelor and have no children the bars I go to in Pittsburgh where I live are my main social network.  If I made church my main social network I’d be a hypocrite.

Even as a young man, I was sour on marriage because my father was a wife beater.  But I can’t blame never getting married on my father.  I don’t think I was ever marriage material.  Bars have always been part of my social network.  The Topless Dancer is about the kind of bar I use to go to and that you may know about, too.
