Today I stopped by The Delphi again. Dio has set his new laptop up at the end of the bar – he’s actually encouraging patrons to use it! I’d never trust mortals with that snazzy a Mac, let alone drunken ones!
It was pretty dead in there – ie, no Mitch in sight – BUT I got a nice surprise when Asclepius showed up! He goes by Axl now – Dr. A. Lepio, healer of spoiled suburban children all across Myrtle Beach, SC.
I was really lucky to run into him , actually – it’s his last day in town for a medical convention and he didn’t think he’d have time to drop in on The Delphi (but they all say that, don’t they? Then they find time for at least ONE drink of special reserve mead).
He hasn’t seen Panacea (Penny now) or Telesforos (Telly – he always loved Kojak) lately, but the other two girls are doing well.
It’s so NICE to be somewhere I’m not always pretending, you know? Where we can just re-hash old stories, gossip, and, when all the humes are watching a band in the backroom, just be ourselves.
I know I give him a hard time, but we’re all really grateful Dio has kept this bar alive over time. It’s home. It always looks the same, even when he has to move (damn passing law), whenever he finally opens again, the bar looks exactly the same.
