Let me fire up the old "Mull-Master", Harbinger, and your libation will be ready in a jiffy.

Have fun at your party.

If you're still mulling that over, I wouldn't mind one, too.

Don't leave me out!

Just a kahlua and creme for me please

While Semi's away, I'll tend bar.

Kahlua and cream for Danny 1,
while Danny 2 and I have our wines.

Got something hot for this cold winter's night?

Well, there's a wing-back chair by the hearth and I'll bring a warm cognac right over.

Arachne! Neat retro look!

Semi, would there be any Laphrohaig left? Hope we didn't kill the bottle last night.

I put the Laphrohaig aside for you, Kent. Anyone else asking for single malt gets Dalwhinnie today.

Awright!

You're a true pal.

STU raises a mug of ale to all the good friends whose company he's enjoyed at SHAKES and LW. He leaves the empty mug on the beautifully-polished bar, then takes a last long look around the room, remembering all the good times he's had there over the past year. He then quietly steps outside, and disappears into the night.

That sounds rather ominous.

Hmmm.....

I hope that does't mean we don't be seeing you Stuey! It just wouldn't be the same around here!

...no one's been here since Sunday.

I'll just help meself to a glass of absinthe to wash down the three-day-old pancakes I ate over ar Cramer's...

Bye guys and gals. I'm going to take some time off from here. Maybe I'll be back in a few months - we'll see. If and until then, SHAKES is self-serve.

Take care of yourselves.

Brent

Is everything okay by you, pal?

hope everything is ok semi!

Semi, LW isn't going to be the same while you're away. I hope you're back soon...we're going to miss you.

Have fun and don't forget about us!

Semi, be well. You certainly won't be far from our thoughts while your away.

A scotch, and a toast to Semi - may he come back soon, our lives at LW will not be the same while he's away

I'll join you.

To Semi!

He's missed already.

Hey whats going on with STU and Semi?

Anyone got any goss they want to share about these two apparently leaving us?

Semi, I'm hoping you're popping in and lurking around, so in your honour I'm going to sing one of my favourite songs of last year, Wings by Josh Ritter.

*ahem* <clears throat as she sits at the magnificent grand piano>

At night we crossed the border following a Black robe to the edge of the reservation—to Cataldo Mission, where the saints and all the martyrs look down on dying converts

What makes the water holy she says is that that it’s the closest thing to rain, I stole a mule from Anthony—I helped Anne up upon it
and we rode to Coeur d’Alene—through Harrison and Wallace

They were blasting out the tunnels—making way for the light of learning when Jesus comes a’calling she said he’s coming round the mountain on a train, it’s my home—last night I dreamt that I grew wings

I found a place where they could hear me when I sing

We floated on to Hanford on a lumber boat up river past the fisheries and the milltowns like a stretch of future graveyards
she was driven to distraction—said I wonder what will happen when they find out they’re mistaken and the land is too changed to ever change

We waded through the marketplace—someone’s ship had come in, there was silver and begonias—dynamite and cattle, there were hearts as big as apples and apples in the shape of Mary’s heart

I said inside this gilded cage a songbird always looks so plain

It’s my home—last night I dreamt that I grew wings

I found a place where they could hear me when I sing.

And so they came with cameras—breaking through the morning mist, press and businessmen—tycoons—Episcopal philanthropists lost in their appraisal of the body of a woman

But all we saw were lowlands—clouds clung to mountains without strings

and at last we saw some people huddled up against
the rain that was descending like railroad spikes and hammers, they were headed for the border—walking and then running then they were gone into the fog but Anne said underneath their jackets she saw wings


Semi, I hope you come back soon
