Drank this tonight while watching the ballgame:
Not drunk off one beer, but definitely buzzed. 11.6% is a solid hit. if you like a slightly bitter brown, you could do a lot worse than this Founders brew.

Oh, I may have to head to the local liquor store to see if they have that! Browns and porters are my favorite styles.
Tonight I had the weekly family Zoom call, and I decided it was a good night to do the Mountain Brown again. Highly recommended, made the hour go by much more quickly!

Not drunk but getting there. The wife is back at work. Got a new job from a wonderful network of work friends. Same salary. Working on benefits. She started Monday. While life is not great, it is good enough now. Best part? It’s all WFH. Just a little bit less to worry about.

Thanks, folks. Most appreciated.
Is it acceptable to post that I was drunk?
Over the last couple of weeks I decided to celebrate a successful family migration by starting to stock my cocktail bar, and learn how to make them. Last night was Long Island Iced Tea night. Which are yummy, incredibly easy to make while drunk, and a complete menace. This morning has been a struggle.
Long Island iced teas are DEADLY. I only consume one if I’m absolutely sure that I have no commitments prior to noon the next day. I only consume two if the next day calendar is absolutely clear. I have had nights with more than two, but I can’t remember those nights well so I’m unsure what criteria I used for making that decision.
It’s the biggest drinking night of the year! Who am I to buck tradition?
Wizards Burial Ground from Brewery Vivant. This one won’t get me drunk, but if I break out another of the four pack I’d be getting there!

Not there yet either, but will be at some point tonight. Going to watch the Maradona documentary and I need alcohol for that. But first a little Hades.

I need hugs. The Maradona doc was depressing as hell.
It was 1980 something, and my Mom was meeting several ladies from our new church (we had just moved to SoCal) for lunch at a new restaurant in town. She was a little late, and they were all teetotalers except for my Mom.
When she arrived, they all encouraged her to try this new tea the restaurant had. Yep, they had no idea what a Long Island Iced Tea was, and all of them were already finishing up their second with another round on the way. So instead of lunch, her afternoon was spent getting these six or seven absolutely blotto women home safely. She even got them into their beds and brought them mixing bowls from their kitchen for the high likelihood that they would boot from the bed spins. The incident was never spoken of publicly, but we’ve gotten 35 years of laughs out of it!
We had a virtual trivia night at work, on Zoom. I drank vodka, kahluas, and coconut milk drinks. Then it ended, it’s 5:30, and I’m drunk and alone in my apartment.
Fuck covid. That is all.
