9:22pm

They call it the witching hour. I call it El tiempo de las aceitunas - the dark bosom of the evening. That seductive, highly charged time balanced precariously between sunset and midnight. It's a time Ernest Hemingway once said showed you who your real friends are. "See who sticks around at 9:22pm", he said, "if you want find out who's true to you and who's a total asswipe."
