Our afternoon class was cancelled today because the professor was out of town. Definitely a nice bonus after the test this morning. Julie and I rarely get to see each other in the daytime, so we met for lunch, and she talked me into going on a short bar tour of Lincoln Square. In my youth, this would be called a Bar Crawl, and we would talk about printing t-shirts for it, but never actually do it. I'm not sure what to call it now. Maybe a Leisurely Tavern Tour, or a No Pressure Pub Hop-Around?
