My favorite Ostler story of the year


"Lewis' love for music led to a gravy train of golf. As a wise man once sang, "That's the power of love." For Lewis, the Bay Area's No. 1 golf bum, the bumming has never been better. "

Sometimes people are so painfully lame and clueless, you just left speechless. And yes, Dwight Clark is mentioned in the article.

I'm shopping for golf sweaters today, picking up a copy of The News' Fore! CD and then coming home and splitting a bottle of chardonay with my wife. Its 1986 and I feel great.

What happened to "Working for a livin'/ Workin'!"

Hypocrite.

Help me salve my stress levels as I fight for my job. Anybody available at any time this weekend?

Dont tell me Arnie is going to lay you off?

I'm out tomorrow night. I also have a wedding on Saturday at the Martinez Sportsman's Club. Not joking. My Uncle Nick is getting married (second time) so he can get on his gf's insurance plan. Isn't America grand?

I am free on Sunday. I assume you have Monday off? I suggest the shed at McNally's. I am bringing an acoustic and performing all of the The News' "Sports" album.

Tickets for Mr Detroit Michigan, Andre Williams, have been purchased. I opted not to pay $40 each for the dinner option. I have both of you pegged as liquid dinner types.

BOB Log III is playing the Annandale tonight and you are all going to miss out. I will just have to drink harder and pretend you are there drinking with me.

I will take you to the Annandale when you are here in december. It's a fun place to see bands in Sydney...

Half of Australia's under 21 basketball players are at St Mary's in Moraga, CA. Right next to Orinda in the Bay Area. Wish you could watch it on ESPN2, Rein.

I thought Mills was out for the year with an injury? Apparently not.

Hey, Tony, ya want to front me some cash to reopen the Moraga Barn? That community is frothing for a bar. We could solve several problems in one bold stroke.

No golfing attire, however, will be allowed.

Moraga barn is a brilliant idea. Are you sure the space is still available? I had heard that someone had turned it into something else.

God, I'd move to Rheem and be the manager. We could BBQ tri tip out back and serve real fries not like those soggy fries at Barclays. Only the best of beers and lots of flat screen TVs.

Sadly, I think someone tried to reopen The Barn and the zoning board wouldn't allow it. Didn't want the traffic noise and drunks. Sad.

Traffic noise? Drunks? In Moraga? After a year and a half in Piedmont, I am growing weary of myopic provincial thinking. The smallness. The pettiness. Perhaps the area where the Barn used to be isn't as open as it once was and laid off workers might stumble towards the bus in an unseemly fashion as they struggle with their crashing lives. At least they'd have a place to commiserate together. Bedroom communities are gated in residents' minds. Virtually domed. Although, we wouldn't want the Orinda ruffians raising hell within three blocks of MCC, and it's much better that their sons and daughters home from college get in their cars and drive across bridges after a night of boozing.

I see their point.

You're such a hater.

Seriously, isnt there a place in the Moraga shopping center or that area across from it where like 5 failed supermarkets ahve been that could be a bar? If memory srves it is already a giant parking lot. WTF?

...and nachos. Really good nachos need to be a part of Moraga Barn, MKII.

Do you know how much cash there is to be made from a little Piedmont bar that men could walk to? People here actually talk fondly of the Tiki Room. If that isn't a cry for help... But, alas, a watering hole is just asking for the wrong kind of people. We've nearly had civil war over where to place the portable classrooms while one school is being rebuilt, with emails swirling about racist parents who won't allow their children to go to a temporary site in Emeryville. People put "no discussion of the portables" on party invites now.

Can you feel my histrionics building?

Rein, how was the show? Did women take their tops off and flop their boobies into large troughs of Scotch? Please post pictures.
