About Al K Hall
Like a battered drinker or a punch drunk boxer, i am here for another round.
For those of you who don’t know me, i’m a semi-professional writer on the rocks and a non-practicing alcoholic (if after 30 years of practicing, you still can't do something well, it's best to just give it up). For those of you who do know me, thanks for stopping by anyway and where’s the ten bucks you owe me?
Welcome to my Bar None. A hole in the wall where we can hang out and trade the kind of stories you swap only when you’ve had one too many and either can’t find your way home or are afraid to. Hell, it’s cheaper than therapy and plus the pictures are prettier. Here we’ll crack open bottles and jokes and ‘last call’ are the only dirty words you’ll never hear.
Pull up a stool and make yourselves at home.

I like that. Especially the ‘respect the past’ bit. I don’t have any regrets..everything bought me here to this place, this moment, this now…I wouldn’t be who I am without my past and I respect it greatly. Hope you are well my friend xxx
Hi Mrs D!
Thanks for the note and the kind thoughts. As you perhaps saw from my following post, i chose the word ‘respect’ here because i cannot say i have no regrets. But that’s a whole ‘nother can of worms!
Keep coming back,

Simple & true — especially “respect the past.” I think we humans have a tendency to disregard or disown or somehow just dislike our pasts (certainly I’ve had moments of wanting a do-over), but like Mrs. D says above, it’s what brought us here. Thanks, Al!
Thanks Luddy!
That’s what i was going for. It’s important for me to remember where i come from and to manage my regrets in a healthy way, without dismissing or denying it.
Keep coming back, my friend!
