Letter from the
Mayor of Hamilton
Welcome
to the City of Hamilton THE RT. WOR. Graeme Outerbridge
As the newly elected Mayor, it is my honor to welcome you to the City of Hamilton, one of the smallest cities in the world, rich in history, culture and heritage. The original Town of Hamilton was incorporated by an Act of the Bermuda Legislature in 1793. Located in a sheltered harbour in the central and largest parish, Pembroke, it was named in honour of the then Governor, Captain Henry Hamilton. The town quickly became the capital of Bermuda when the seat of government was transferred from St. George, in 1815. Following the completion of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, situated some 400 yards east of the present City Hall, the status of City was conferred upon the Town of Hamilton in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The City of Hamilton has a resident population of about 1,100 and an estimated daytime population of approximately 13,340 (40% of Bermuda’s working population). This number increases significantly when tourists are added to the equation. In addition to the excellent cuisine that can be found in the city’s many varied restaurants, the shopping is easy and the historic sites are a must see. I can attest to the fact that Hamilton is a delightful capital to get around on foot. Measuring about a quarter square mile, the entire area can be walked in about 30 minutes however, exploring, discovering and enjoying the sites, both historic and new, can take hours, maybe even days. Anyone wishing to explore the City in depth can participate in the Walkway of History tour that was created as part of Bermuda’s 400th Anniversary, in 2009. Plaques have been installed in the sidewalk at various points along the route to identify important sites of architectural, social, cultural or historical significance in the City. This self-guided tour starts and ends on Church Street in front of the City Hall, and enables the pedestrian to learn about the history of the city and may be taken as a whole or in parts. Brochures can be obtained from City Hall. For more information, please visit www.cityofhamilton.bm

BERMUDA haha Cruellest Month Above All By Roger Crombie
January may not be the worst month of the year, but it’s not exactly May, is it? In Bermuda, January can be clammy and chill, but it’s not exactly Chicago, is it? I mention Chicago because every time I think of January, I think of that toddling town. Some years ago, my career had unexpectedly shuddered to a halt and I had been forced to take a job in the suburbs of Chitown. I’d been living in Washington, D.C., no stranger to fierce winters, so driving to Chicago on January 3rd didn’t sound like it would be a challenge ... ... and it wasn’t. I drove straight through and arrived at the Howard Johnson motel late on a Sunday night, due to start work the next morning. Unfortunately, when Monday dawned, four feet of snow had blanketed the entire Chicagoland area overnight, enough to bury my car and all the others in the parking lot. Having arrived exhausted after the long drive, I couldn’t remember where I’d parked, so I was stranded at the hotel. At about 9:15, the phone rang in my room. It was my new boss, wondering where I was. I explained that I was snowed in at the Hojo like a po-mo hobo. No, no, he said, this is just regular snowfall. He expected me to be in the office in short order. I mulled this over. It was idiotic, but saying so might cost me the job, although technically, I wasn’t actually employed yet. I’d already lost the car; losing the job as well would be very inconvenient. It might be months before the snow melted. Chicago is almost next door to the North Pole, in case you didn’t know. I phoned the front desk to ask for a taxi. The receptionist explained that the roads were impassable. I explained that I was about to lose a job I didn’t have. She explained that nothing could be done, so I decided to walk. You may imagine my surprise when I opened the door of my room to find that the road nearby had been swept while I was on the phone. Even the parking lot now had driving lanes, although this meant that the parked cars were under twice as much snow as before. At that moment, the receptionist appeared with a broom, which she offered so that I might sweep away the snow on my car. I did just that, although I had to sweep about 20 other vehicles before finding my own. Driving extremely gingerly, I made my way to my new office. On arrival, I was told to go back to the hotel, since fresh snow was expected and employees were being sent home in anticipation. I spent three days in the Howard Johnson’s, finally starting work on the Thursday. And that’s why, no matter how bad this or any subsequent January may turn out to be, Chicago will always be synonymous in my mind with the cruellest month of the year.

Art Matters Eyes on the World By lisa howie, Director of bermuda National Gallery
On January 18th we open with a variety of exhibitions. In the Watlington Room we highlight Women Artists in the BNG Collection, a first ever exhibition, which reflects diverse expressions and medium from landscape paintings to contemporary sculpture. In the Ondaatje Wing is Impressions of Bermuda: The David L. White Gift to the BNG featuring works by visiting American Impressionist painters in the early 20th century. In the lower mezzanine we feature Meredith Andrews: Portraits of Power. Also on display, Eyes on the World, a photographic exhibition in partnership with the Alexia Foundation. The Alexia Foundation is an American non-profit dedicated to the power of photojournalism and its potential for inspiring social change. The Foundation is named after Alexia Tsairis, a photojournalist student of Syracuse University who was a victim of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Alexia believed in the capacity and responsibility of individuals to advance peace and the Foundation is committed to this ideal. Eyes on the World is very different type of exhibition for the BNG as it is so concretely focused on social issues and yet the move to this type of exhibition is also in stride with how the museum is redefining itself. With a vision of cultural relevancy, we intend to embrace the social body politic and to position the museum as a community space for sharing critical dialogue. We believe that the museum has a responsibility to social progress and we realize this through exhibitions and educational programmes. Eyes on the World includes six stories representing America, Germany, India, Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the United Kingdom. Issues explored though sensitive and provocative photography and film include: the scholastic achievement gap; outcomes of gang violence; the legacy of the Third Reich; violence against women; human trafficking; waraffected children; and the Muslim identity. In each case the photo-stories accomplish a difficult perspective, both broadly based and specific to the subjects. Each visual is accompanied with a contextual narrative that lends to the viewer’s ability to appreciate the complexities of the presented issues. This is an exhibition that encourages pause: To consider the plight of the photographed; to reflect on one’s own positioning in society; and to make the decision to act. What can we do for others? Using photography as an agency of social change is the premise to the Eyes on the World exhibition. Eyes on the World also includes Bermuda topics with local photographers and filmmakers casting their eyes on social issues at hand.

In the Arts Alexia Foundation Brings to Bermuda
“Eyes on the World”
By Jim dooley, Executive Administrator, Alexia Foundation
The Alexia Foundation promotes the power of photojournalism to give voice to social injustice, to respect history lest we forget it and to understand cultural difference as our strength – not our weakness. Through grants, scholarships and special projects, The Alexia Foundation supports photographers as agents for change. On the 21st of December 1988, 270 innocent people were lost in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Alexia Tsairis, age 20, a Newhouse School of Public Communications student at Syracuse University, was one of them. Alexia’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. Peter Tsairis, wanted to create a memorial to their daughter so they worked with Alexia’s photojournalism professor at Syracuse University, David Sutherland, and they established a student photography competition. It remained a student competition from 1991 until a professional category was added in 1997. Now, more than ever, as we receive information at inestimable speeds and in seemingly infinite volumes, visual journalism stands as our most powerful form of communication,” said Aphrodite Tsairis. “The role of today’s photojournalist - to shed light on social injustice and to produce visual stories that drive change - has never been more critical. At a time when many other resources have dwindled, The Alexia Foundation remains unwavering in its commitment to support photojournalism on academic and professional levels. We strongly believe that there is no stronger force in bringing us closer to the world we inhabit,” Mrs. Tsairis said. The Alexia Foundation is an IRS designated 501c3 charitable organization. All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Since its inception in 1991, The Alexia Foundation has awarded $700,000 to 110 photography students and 18 professional photojournalists producing 128 funded projects. In return, the Foundation and its photographers have been most recently recognized with the following awards: • • • • • • • •

Other awards to our winners have been World Press Photo Awards, A Daniel Pearl Award for Outstanding International Investigative Reporting; a Pulitzer Prize; Visa pour l’Image - International festival of photojournalism; the Fifty Crows Photo Fund; American Photography Images of the Year; and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for Domestic Photography to name just a few. The judging criteria for the professional category is: The Alexia Grant was not established with the single purpose of rewarding the best photographers - this is not a portfolio competition. The grant will be awarded to a photojournalist who can further cultural understanding and world peace by conceiving and writing a concise, focused, and meaningful story proposal, and who can demonstrate the ability to visually execute that story with compelling images. There is no mathematical formula for determining grantees, but the proposal and photography must both be considered of the highest quality. The judging criteria for the student category is: The Alexia Competition was not created with the purpose of rewarding the best picture takers - this is not a portfolio competition. The awards will go to students who can further cultural understanding by conceiving concise, focused, and meaningful story proposals. There is no mathematical formula for determining the winners, but the story proposal is the most important part of the application. All proposals are read and ranked by the judges before any portfolios are reviewed. The “Eyes On The World” exhibition will highlight the work of six student award winners and five professional award winners.

Golf across the island Chipping at Belmont By paul adams, PGA Director of Golf
With the Goslings Invitational at Belmont, my thoughts are on what skill is the most important to be successful at their. What I have found with the tricky small greens is that chipping will make the difference. More often than not, I see the ball hit fat - the club striking the ground about 2 inches before the ball. Since a chip shot is usually just off the putting surface. It requires very little power so must be played with almost no weight shift during the swing. In this type of swing we want to keep the trajectory relatively low so we can get the ball on the green and let it run out to the hole like a putt. Plan your chip to land about a third of the way to the hole and then run out the last two thirds as this is a much higher percentage shot than a high trajectory flop shot that flies almost the whole way to the pin.
The key to hitting the more delicate chip shots is to have a minimum of wrists break so that your hands stay ahead of the club. However at Belmont the fringe tends to be much thicker and so a more descending blow is required to stop the club getting snagged in the thick grass. Keys to chipping from a fringe with thicker grass are: 1. Angle your body and shaft of the club slightly towards the target, the thicker the grass the more lean will be required. Try to maintain that angle through out the movement, keeping your head and body very ‘quiet’ 2. Feel a very smooth tempo, which will allow for good clean contact. 3. Finally grip pressure, needs to be soft so that you can feel the club and therefore the distance, the best chippers in golf have the softest hands. When you get to a longer pitch shot, say 10-15 yards from the green, you still approach the setup and the swing as you did with a chip shot but in this instance you’ll need to have a little bit more power in your swing and thus you will need a touch of weight transfer.

glimpses of
Bermuda’s History Magnificent 1850s Gunpowder Magazine By Dr. Edward Harris, M.B.E
After its invention by the Chinese over a thousand years ago, gunpowder reigned supreme as the only chemical explosive available to military forces into the later part of the 1800s, when smokeless propellants such as Cordite came into being, changing the nature of warfare forever.
The explosive capabilities of an apparently harmless black powder has to be seen to be believed, but if allowed to go damp, gunpowder is quite useless and thus the ‘magazine’ was invented for its storage in dry conditions, in readiness, say, for the sacking of Washington, or a sea battle between the navies of Britain and France.
Bermuda has one of the finest magazines for the storage of black powder from the last decades of its preeminence as the propellant that powered the European conquest of much of the world from the Age of Discovery in the 1500s through to the American Civil War. The building was erected in the “Keep”, or great fort of last refuge, at the Royal Naval Dockyard at the western end of the island and was completed in 1852. It as a ‘casemated’ roof of several layers of brick vaulting that is designed to be “bombproof ” against incoming cannonballs, which along with smooth-bore cannon, also reigned supreme into the later Victorian Age. Its floor is made of bitumen, probably from the tar lakes of Trinidad in the West Indies and is meant to prevent sparks. Some five thousand barrels of gunpowder were once stored in the magazine and were for the use of the “Sea Service”, that is to say the Royal Navy’s ships, rather than for land fortifications. Now on the grounds of the National Museum of Bermuda and serving as the home of the new display “Shipwreck Island”, the “Queen’s Exhibition Hall”, first opened as a museum by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975, was designed by Royal Engineer Francis Fowke, who in later life was the architect for the Royal Albert Hall and some of the early national museums at South Kensington, London, England. www.thisweek.bm 27
Heritage Matters The Earl of Warwick’s Last Cannon By Dr. Edward Harris, M.B.E.
In the first decade of the settlement of Bermuda, which began 400 years ago in July 1612, communication with England, from whence the settlers came, was through the infrequent ships chartered or owned by the shareholders of the Bermuda Company. Archaeologists record the details of the timberwork of the remains of the hull of the Warwick.
The ships brought the necessities of life of the day that could not be obtained in Bermuda, as well as items, such as gunpowder and guns, for the defence of the island, in particular to hold it against a Spanish attack. Not only was life precarious at sea, but given the position of the island in the track of hurricanes, ships were often endangered, along with their cargoes, as they sat at anchor, usually in Castle Harbour. Such was the situation in 1619, when the Garland limped in after being overdue for some weeks, as she had left Britain eight weeks before the Earl of Warwick’s ship, the Warwick, which brought the new governor Nathaniel Butler. The Garland had been within sight of Bermuda three weeks previous, in late October, ‘but she had once again been put off by bad weather, and was forced to the southward, where they lay beating against the wind for so long that their water supply was almost gone, and a great many of her passengers and seamen sick or dead’. From the middle of November 1619, the Garland and the Warwick rode at anchor in Castle Harbour, awaiting loading of cargoes of tobacco. Governor Butler meantime was about his official duties and in early December, ‘he made a journey right

A section of the hull towards the bow may be compared to the archaeological plan. through the main island and the tribes, to hold a general assize in Captain Tucker’s grand house at the Overplus’. The Assize took two days, whereupon he returned to the town St. Georges, only to be met with a late hurricane, which caused the Garland to cut down her mainmast, ‘but the Warwick, which was moored not far from the Garland, slipped all her anchors and was driven onto the rocks, and was completely wrecked’. Governor Butler raised some guns from the shipwreck for the forts and in the late spring of 1620, he went back to the site, with little military success: ‘Some floating barrels of beer were taken out of the hold, but only after a lot of trouble; some of these were in much better condition than was expected, even though they had lain under water for almost six months.’ Except for such removals, the Warwick slowly rotted away, until all that was left in present times, under a pile of ballast, was a section of the starboard side of the vessel, preserved when the wreck rolled onto its right side. A number of individual finds were made by an archaeological team from the National Museum of Bermuda, including the earliest known ‘Plane Scale’, a navigational instrument, from a shipwreck. In addition, Bermudian James Davidson, found what may proved to be the last cannon from the ship, which Governor Butler no doubt would have traded some of the Warwick’s beer to have for his fortifications.

Do You Know... Why Albert Einstein Visited Bermuda in 1935? By Horst Augustinovic
Born at Ulm, Germany, in March 1879, Albert Einstein is considered to be the most important scientist of the twentieth century.
Photo by Walter Rutherford
Educated in Germany and Switzerland – where he was trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics – Albert Einstein acquired Swiss citizenship in 1901 and worked as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1914 he was appointed Professor at the University of Berlin and Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute. He again became a German citizen, however, he left Germany in 1933 for political reason and emigrated to America to take up the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton University. In Berlin, Albert Einstein in 1905 published his Special Theory of Relativity, followed by many other scientific works. Some of his non-scientific works are perhaps his most important – About Zionism, Why War?, My Philosophy and Out of My Later Years. He received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy Professor Albert Einstein and the Mayor of Hamilton, from several European and Sir Harry Watlington, on the Hamilton dock. American universities. In 1937 he investigated the Bermuda triangle as a possible answer to the Einstein-Rosen bridge theory, an investigation that continued until his death in 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein’s biographer, Walter Isaacson, wrote in Einstein: His Life and Universe: “Now that Einstein and his wife have decided to stay in the United States, it made sense for Einstein to seek citizenship. When he visited the White House, President Roosevelt suggested that he should accept the offer of some congressmen to have a special bill passed on his behalf, but Einstein instead decided to go through the normal procedures. That meant leaving the country, so that he and his wife and daughters could come in not as visitors but as people seeking citizenship. So in May 1935 they all sailed on the Queen to Bermuda for a few days to satisfy these formalities”. The Bermudian reported that “During his stay Professor Einstein was a familiar figure 30 This Week in Bermuda | January 2013
Do You Know in Hamilton, where he seemed to make himself genuinely and comfortably at home. The great scientist walked and drove, according to weather or fancy, and oftentimes all eyes on the street turned towards him whose manner never betrayed his fame”. When invited by the Headmaster of Saltus Grammar School to address the students of the school, Professor Einstein expressed his regret that he could not accept the invitation as he could not speak English. To this the Headmaster also expressed his great regret in English at the unfortunate situation and the learned scientist said goodbye. Albert Einstein was not only the most outstanding scientist of the twentieth century, but also a gifted musician, playing both the piano and the violin, his constant companion. He once declared: “Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.” So why did Professor Einstein visit Bermuda in 1935? Because he did not want special treatment from the U.S. Congress, but rather get U.S. citizenship as a regular emigrant, something he finally achieved in 1940. How many people would have done that?
Albert Einstein was a genius when it came to science and music, however, he was no genius when it came to sailing. When he spent a summer on Long Island, there were about 30 people who all claimed that they had rescued Einstein when he capsized, and towed him and his boat to shore.

Cosmetic Dermatology By Willi Lawrence, Dermatology & Skin Care Center
Cosmetic dermatology is a popular specialty addressing the issues of skin rejuvenation. Wrinkles are a fact of life. Just because you have wrinkles does not mean you have to keep them. With all the advances in our field, we can now turn back the hands of time.
Botox and fillers can be done in one office visit. Juvederm and restylane results are seen immediately. This is one of my favorite treatments to see a patient smile and be happy with what is looking back at them in the mirror. Besides adding volume it can also lift the face. Chemical peels are another way that can help appearance of the skin. It can evenly remove dead skin cells to stimulate the production of new skin cells. My most popular is the “lunch time peel” It gives you a nice glow and skin is smooth and you return to work. No downtime. It is also done for special occasions when you want to look your best. Skin may seem like a simple structure but is quite a complex one. Blemishes can be sometimes be disguised as lesions of early skin cancer. It is important to make sure that the physician who is examining you is a qualified dermatogist. We have two on our island. Dr. Romeo and Dr. Daly. Skin cancer is on the rise so please check anything that is new to your skin especially if it is fast growing. I am on this topic this month having developed a fast growing skin cancer on my forearm. It just looked like a red spot and it started to enlarge. Luckily I worked with Dr. Romeo and it was quickly treated. Any moles that are changing and more than one color need to be checked. Get your skin examined yearly with your dermatologist. It could save your life! Use a sun block everyday. Even if it is raining the UVA rays still are present to breakdown our precious collagen and cause skin cancer. If you say sunscreens are all greasy and don’t like how they feel on your skin then you need to see me and I will find the right one for you. Just working in your home or office,walking to your car will subject you to unnecessary UV exposure. Windshields do not protect. Daylight is the number one source of premature skin aging. Sunscreen needs to be applied 20 minutes to absorb in the skin before sun exposure. Although the damage may already be done there are treatments available to help the skin return to a healthy state.

Our friendly staff is on hand to assist you with local knowledge on where to go and what to do. Public Transport passes, wifi, phone cards, and tour tickets are available for purchase. Telephone 441 238-4842 THE ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD Ireland Island, Sandys Work began on this massive complex in 1809, not long after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and just before the War of 1812. Envisioned as a strategic British military outpost that would make Bermuda the “Gibraltar of the West,” the Royal Naval Dockyard was built by slave and convict labour. The Dockyard locked its gates in 1951. Since then, the seventy-five acre site has been painstakingly renovated to accommodate museums, a movie theatre, restaurants, The Arts Centre and the Bermuda Craft Market. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BERMUDA Ireland Island, Sandys Located in the Keep of the Royal Naval Dockyard, this museum has become one of the island’s most frequently visited destinations since being opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1975. Its popularity has increased even more with the recent restoration and opening of Commissioner’s House. Elsewhere on the complex, exhibits chronicle both Bermuda’s association with the Royal Navy and its own interesting maritime history. In addition to a collection of Bermuda-made boats, there are relics from the Sea Venture, maps, the famous Tucker Treasure—collected from the sixteenth-century Spanish galleon the San Pedro—and many more artifacts. Open Monday to Sunday 9:30am-4:00pm (last admission 4pm). Adults $10, seniors $8, children under 13 FREE. For further information telephone 441 234-1333. COMMISSIONER’S HOUSE National Museum of Bermuda, Royal Naval Dockyard Located within the confines of the National Museum of Bermuda, Commissioner’s House dominates this complex and entire surroundings from its elevated position. Largely constructed between 1823 and 1828, this commanding Georgian ‘house’ epitomizes British imperial style, power and engineering wherewithal during the nineteenth century. An experimental building in several regards, Commissioner’s House may have been the first domestic project anywhere to use cast iron to support its floors and roof. Rescued from near dereliction through a protracted, award-winning restoration, the building—one of the most important on the island—now houses exhibits on slavery, history of tourism, Bermuda’s connections with the West Indies and the Azores and Bermuda’s military and seafaring history. Open during regular Museum hours.

Miraculously, all on board survived the disaster and rowed ashore to Gates Bay, located at the eastern end of St. George’s. ST.

Displays include a fascinating assortment of memorabilia relating to the many areas in which blacks have made a contribution since first arriving on the island in 1616: shipbuilding, piloting, construction, nursing, music, sports and politics, to name a few. Open Tues-Sat 10am-3pm. Admission $4. 297-4126. CORPORATION OF ST. GEORGE Town of St. George Town Hall, the handsome building commanding King’s Square and bearing the town crest was begun in 1802, a few years after the Corporation of St. George’s was founded in 1797. The State House, located up a gentle elevation behind Town Hall, is one of the island’s oldest, most historically important buildings. Erected around 1620 by Governor Nathaniel Butler, the State House is open to the public 10am-4pm on Wednesdays only. (10 - 2 May 1 - Oct 31) THE UNFINISHED CHURCH Duke of Kent Street, St. George’s The impressive Gothic vestige that looms over the town of St. George’s was begun in 1870 as a replacement for St. Peter’s, which had fallen into a state of serious disrepair. Outside viewing only. The structure is unsafe – please heed the warning signs. Designed by William Hay, the Scottish-born architect who later drew the plans for Hamilton’s cathedral, the St. George’s church was abandoned in 1899 when near completion. FORT ST. CATHERINE & MUSEUM St. Catherine’s Point, St. George’s Fort St. Catherine stands on the site of one of the four towers that Governor Richard Moore erected along Bermuda’s coast around 1613. None of these original towers, the first English forts in the New World, survive. The present, completely restored structure, dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is home to fascinating exhibits including military guns and weapons. 75% of the fort is wheelchair accessible. Open Mon-Fri 10:00am-4:00pm. CARTER HOUSE Southside Road, St. David’s Carter House was probably built in the 1720s by John Hayward and his wife Martha, reputedly a descendant of Christopher Carter, one of the two Sea Venture survivors who stayed behind when

Elaine Lima
Bar Manager Red Steakhouse & Bar By simona terceira
Elaine Lima is the bar manager at the newest restaurant in Hamilton RED Steakhouse & Bar. Elaine has a true passion for taste, innovation and a constant need to provide only the best service to her customers. Elaine can you please tell us a few words about yourself? I was born in Mississauga, Ontario and I met my husband while studying at The University of Western Ontario. We got married in Bermuda, in 1997 and we’ve been living here ever since. I started working here on the island just 5 years ago with the Island Restaurant Group, as a hostess at Pickled Onion, an assistant manager at Victoria Grill and as a server at Barracuda Grill. Most recently I was working part time as a bartender at Moon Nightclub (now called Cosmopolitan Nightclub) for David Madeiros. David is now the co-owner and operations director of RED Steakhouse & Bar. David really liked having me as bartender at Moon. With my degree in business management, my love for the industry and all the knowledge I have gained over the past years, David asked me to be the bar manager at RED. What is the best thing about what you do? I love the interaction, the customers and seeing the familiar faces coming back regularly. It’s really gratifying to know that you have done a great job and that people want to come back and see you. Just being behind the bar you get to meet so many different types of people. What is the worst part of your job? The worst part is when you don’t do the best job that you can do. It’s not always your fault but you feel personally responsible when the customers aren’t fully satisfied. If you couldn’t do what you are doing now, what would you do instead? I would be a full time mom. I just had a baby boy 6 months ago and I have to be honest it is not easy to work every night behind the bar when I have my baby at home. It is hard to leave him but at the end of the day everything I do is for him.
