| My Dad's poker club buddies (and me, to the left) in front of "The Poker Club" |
Tonight, my Dad's poker club buddies came to the
Old Brogue to see the painting of them "The Poker Club" for the first time finished ... and to have dinner where it's being displayed all month. It was fun watching them stream in the room with big smiles on their faces. In the painting, they are all pretty animated. Same is true in real life. What intrigued me was the interaction between all of them. A sign of friendship is giving each other a hard time. There always seems to be plenty of that.
