You saw me standing alone...

My best late friend was a hard drinking tree planter on the Washington coast. He once threatened to throw a shot glass through the bar mirror when the bartender cut him off. My wife happened to be that bartender at the old Tumwater Inn in Leavenworth, WA. This card was awarded to him at Ugly Ed's Raymond Tavern. He really was a good guy and friend. He eventually got sober,married and became a great family man with 3 kids and 4 grandchildren. He passed away November 2024. I miss him.

A Game of Thrones, Jon III

“They’re all older than me,” he said defensively.

“Older and bigger and stronger, that’s the truth. I’ll wager your master-at-arms taught you how to fight bigger men at Winterfell, though. Who was he, some old knight?”

“Ser Rodrik Cassel,” Jon said warily. There was a trap here. He felt it closing around him.

Donal Noye leaned forward, into Jon’s face.

“Now think on this, boy. None of these others have ever had a master-at-arms until Ser Alliser. Their fathers were farmers and wagonmen and poachers, smiths and miners and oars on a trading galley.

“What they know of fighting they learned between decks, in the alleys of Oldtown and Lannisport, in wayside brothels and taverns on the kingsroad. They may have clacked a few sticks together before they came here, but I promise you, not one in twenty was ever rich enough to own a real sword.”

His look was grim. “So how do you like the taste of your victories now, Lord Snow?”

“Don’t call me that!” Jon said sharply, but the force had gone out of his anger. Suddenly he felt ashamed and guilty.

“I never…I didn’t think…”

“Best you start thinking,” Noye warned him. “That, or sleep with a dagger by your bed. Now go.”

Not very good tavern names:

The burnt wall

The rusted plate

The just joust javelin gelatin

The young mouse

The hungover jester

The hung horse

The silly goose

The golden ass

The faded intertitle

The jaded cuckoo

The howling wind

The roasted chestnut

The collapsed copse of corpses

The hungry cormorant

The moderately large horned lizard
