ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END...

I know what you are thinking: The SwanFather must be referring to the impending end of the Pope. While my thoughts and prayers go out to the Chosen One, in this case, I am not referring to him (although I will deal with him in a sec.); I am referring to the end of the blog.

Yes, this will be my last posting of the Diary of Third and Long. It is a painful decision, but a necessary one. While I enjoyed sharing aspects of my life and the day-to-day interactions of the bar and neighborhood, recent developments has caused me to reevaluate the worth of my efforts.

I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from many of you over the past few months; I feel like I have been able to develop new bonds and friendships via cyberspace with many people and for that I am grateful. The reality however, is that I have received numerous threats on my well-being if I continue to write. Threats to my well-being as well as the safety of my friends. And I cannot compromise them and myself over a silly blog.

I cannot say where the threats are coming from....but if you have been keeping track of my daily musings, you can take a pretty good guess as to where the threats orignated from....(ockstaray orterpay).... All I can say is that nothing is more important than my health (ockstaray orterpay)....I only hope that my readers are intelligent enough to figure it out (ockstaray orterpay) and realize that this is the right decision for me. That's all I will say about that-just know that it has been a blast writing this blog over the last few months. I hope that you will stop by and see me at the bar in your travels someday.

Before I go, I want to give you an update on the Celebrity Death Pool: Right now it's neck and neck between the Pontiff and Prince Rainier of Monaco. We've already gone over the fact that this is indeed a sick pool. But you know it's bad when you find me asking people on the street if the Pope has died yet.....At least it forces me to watch CNN....

UPCOMING EVENTS:
SATURDAY: Final Four Viewing Party. Join us on Saturday as we catch the Final Four games. The Big Screen TV is back; We are also having a ton of great specials, such as $3 Jager shots, Sam Adams, Sam Adams White Ale, Sam Adams Light, and Pabst Blue Ribbon bottles. We will also continue our "Pop-a-Shot" basketball contest.

SUNDAY: Yankees vs Red Sox, Opening Night Viewing Party. Game begins at 8pm; $3 Domestic Drafts during the game.

MONDAY: NCAA Championship Game, 9pm. $1 Bud/Bud Light Mugs, $3 Jager shots and the "Pop-A-Shot" Basketball finals, with the champion winning his/her own full-sized "Pop-a-Shot" game to take home!

BTW, don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour this weekend....

Oh, and what I said before about this being my last blog......APRIL FOOL'S! The joke's on you! (did you think i'd actually give this up?)

NUFF SAID
