So there are a few things you should know about me:
I have serious trouble having a good time.
I'm really shy and reserved and NEVER talk to strangers
...and playing games and a little friendly competition is completely out of the question!
Do you believe me?
The other night while dining at The Capital Grille in Tampa I showed my dear friend a trick I had learned recently. It involves retrieving a cork that has been pushed into a empty wine bottle using only a napkin. Needless to say, this is quite a fun little number and once you master it could probably entice you to perhaps make a wager with some unsuspecting folks...
I'm telling you if I knew this years ago while I was bartending, I would have made a fortune!
So a very nice gentleman at the table next to us proceeds to walk up and tell me he knows how to do this too.
"Well, terrific! Let's see who can do it faster!" [because this is what every one would say in this moment...]
Isn't this what you would have done? I mean starting a full on game in the dining room of a very nice establishment? [completely acceptable behavior]
This is what I mean about my personality...I'm a little bit of an instigator...It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we had emptied the 2 bottles of wine we were now using!
A big thank you to The Capital Grille for a wonderful dining experience and for not only permitting us to return, but actually extending an invitation!
