30-Faces; Day 8

"Dave"
Pencil on sketchpad, unretouched

Dave is a glimpse of my past. He was my bartender at my home away from home; The Point, Fells Point, Maryland. I would go there a few times a week, typically, put a little Patsy Cline on the jukebox and croon and visit with Dave and friends.

The whole experience was very 'Cheers-esque' and when I moved from Baltimore, Dave gave me "My" wineglass. The one I always drank from. It has since broken (I think) and I have outgrown this time of my life...but what wonderful memories it evokes. Dave was one of my best 'girlfriends'.

He came to visit Paul and I when we lived in Albuquerque and it was as though he was still living in that time...very surreal and somewhat sad. I wonder where he is now...
