Open for Business

Hi there.
As I was setting this whole thing up the other day I never addressed why I titled this The Corner Pub. It’s very simple, I like pubs.
Now, a few years back when the whole email/internet/web started, I subscribed to a great email service called “My Own Email” that was fun to use. One of their features was to let subscribers make up their own email addresses, hence, My Own Email.
One day, I went to check my email and it wasn’t there. This was terrible, as many of my personal friends data was lost. I had the best address, @cornerpub.com. It was catchy, easy to remember, and the Corner Pub was always open.
Fast forward a few years to present day and here we are. I am now working on the blogging thing and wish to re-establish the Corner Pub brand for anyone who’s interested. Plus, pubs are a wonderful thing. A good pub is just that; it’s not a bar to hang out in. A good pub is a family place, where you can take your kids on Sunday afternoon to watch the game for a while and have a pint or two. A pub is where you take your kid for their first drink, or meet a friend to discuss a problem, or unwind from your day with several of your fellow working class heroes.
So, I hereby declare the The Corner Pub officially open, such as it is, and will not close until further notice. All are welcome, welcome are all. Speak freely and let the good times roll.
As for the oracle thing, well, I was trying to be witty and cute and funny, none of which I’m very good at and I had this whole, “Consult the Oracle,” idea thing in mind and now I can’t figure out how to change it. Oh well, the pub is open, and shall remain so. Come in sit down, and stay awhile.
And if anyone knows how I can restore any of the information from My Own Email, please let me know.
Ciao
