Sex, drugs, murder, Long Island Ice Tea, and Miami's body-slick heat--what more can one ask for? My piece on life as a bartender in Miami thirty years ago is up at Gloom Cupboard. Hope you like it. http://gloomcupboard.com/2011/08/27/may-you-live-in-interesting-times-by-jp-reese/

Thanks to everyone who read and commented on my essay at Gloom Cupboard. I am so pleased it received such positive responses. My life didn't seem dangerous at the time, but I was infused with the optimism (and heedlessness) of youth.
Excellent writing. I enjoyed reading very much.
I'm glad you wrote it and shared it with the world, Joani.
