El Madrid—the ancient bar located on First Street and nearly beneath the Coal Ave. bridge—is a place with stories to tell. That's one reason the mission-style watering hole is the perfect spot for a weekly blues night (another is that, once upon a time, it played host to many a blues show). Live music anew kicks off at 9 p.m. tonight with the Albuquerque Blues Connection.

Six months of work, down the drain.

My wife didn't like her birthday present.

Time to cancel the cable.

We now get the Oprah Channel.

How low class.

We're trying to drink vodka and Gatorade but only the wine glasses are clean.

I guess I'll be holding it this week.

Thank God we were wearing different colored hats.

We were wearing the same color jumpsuit.
