The only way to express what I felt yesterday while I entered O'Malley's again as I so often had done in the last 17 years is: *A GARGANTUAN SIGH OF RELIEF*. The day I learned O'Malley's had been closed down I compared my feelings - rather hypothetically and surely in bad taste - to my poor late mom having been arrested. O'Malley's is, afterall, MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME - even though I don't live that far. Ali, thanks for being so resilient - it is your bravery in standing the ludicrously surreal bluetape that enabled me to feel the pleasure of seeing mom out again. And so the ordeal comes to an end…

I moved towards a new professional challenge in Dubai, UAE, which consumes pretty much all of my time here. But, still, didn’t block me to check O’Malleys website every single day, in order to verify if this nightmare was over. Since our bar closed, I’ve been talking with friends over the Internet, 14 f*cking thousands km away (or other, not sure yet ;P), always wondering how could such a big part of my life just “finish” like this. For those who know me, probably remember how I could fail in university (2 years! Reason: Lack of attendance ;P) and spend only 2 hours per day working in order to reach my destination (Al. Itu 1529, which I used to recommend to others from the top of my mind) and meet Peter and Chris at exactly 4:30pm to start our pool contest (bothering those gently people that used to work there selling tokens for the pool table, who stated all the times “Sorry, tokens are still not available”) and ask for the traditional whisky bottle, 20 tokens (Ok, when I started to improve my crappy game sometimes just 2 tokens were necessary for the night :D) and tons of red bulls. Man, now I feel happy and excited with this marvellous and outstanding new, but at the same time sad because now I live in this shitty place. You guys don’t have a clue about how I miss my environment. Well… Since I feel my post must have some objective, I really would like to congratulate the guys that stayed strong and hope that from now on everything goes exactly with the same spirit of before (ok, maybe now Ali doesn’t fall from his seat anymore, but he will be the same bastard for us 4 ever ;P). I hope I manage to take 2 weeks leave in July. If that happens, without shadow of doubt I’ll be in my second home pretty much from opening until close (I miss being pulled out from the place and hook up with the crew friends to have breakfast). Like they say here, see you in July Insha'Allah! All the best and leave some booze for me! (AND TAKE CARE OF THE DAMN F*CKING POOL TABLES!) ;D Domingo Montanaro, a.k.a.
