Diego, his mom and I dropped off Justin at his mom’s and then decided to grab some chow at a local eatery that used to be the “esteemed” version of a dive bar I used to frequent back in the day. There are a few shots from The Barley Pub in Justin’s 365, so it’s kind of nice to feature this so-so photo from the second home of that establishment as a bit of a throughline for the boys. Oh, I know that’s a reach, but I still feel very connected to my old hometown and when we visit, I think Diego’s rather sharp empathy senses my bit of homesickness. It’s not the greatest place in the universe, and I didn’t always feel comfortable there, but I still love that damn town and I was happy to snap this shot of my littlest giving it some attention.
