Home Sweet Home

Having been recently forced to endure the NBA free agency sweepstakes, otherwise known as the LeBron James Circus, I've decided that its important to make an unceremonious declaration of my own. I am absolutely STAYING at Greene's Ale House as your favorite bartender.

I've never been on the fence with regards to my desire to stay employed at this wonderful establishment. I feel that now is the prudent time to avow my loyalty to my employers, as well as my legion of loyal customers and fans. I am surrounded by an exceptional staff who have allowed me to shine behind the bar on a daily basis. The resources at this fine tavern have also given me a platform to become the best mixologist I can be as well.

I have been courted by numerous bar and restaurant owners both locally and internationally over the better part of the last decade. The rumors that you may have heard in 2009 about my impending departure were in fact, just that, rumors. They were no doubt fueled by my back to back Oswego Bartender of the Year Awards. I am very proud that the public spoke on my behalf and honored me with such a prestigious "trophy". However, I have no desire to move on.

Where was my 1 hour prime time special on t.v. to announce my intentions you may ask? Unlike Mr. James, I felt it was better to take the high road and not show up any of my colleagues with a self serving, egotistical charade. In addition, I wanted to clear the air immediately in an effort to avoid having this process drag out like one of Brett Favre's off-seasons.

Now that the dust has settled I eagerly look forward to a return to serving the public. I cannot say it enough, I love my job. It has never been about the money. I pledge to continue supplying you all with food and grog as well as a plethora of sports trivia and useless knowledge at Greene's. So stop by for a pint and a bite to eat and we can continue a tradition of excellence.

  5. Wow, I sure miss Greene's. For almost all of my friends back home, I've found their "west coast equivalent". But not for you... and not for Greene's. Look's like I'm just gonna have to visit, I guess. Here's hoping I'll be home this October...
