Its two days before christmas and all thru my head swirls a little bit of Dylan and a whole lot of Dead. I guess thats not entirely true for prancing around is Nancy Sinatra too. She's singing "Santa baby please bring back the Grateful Dead, With Jerry and Pigpen and some LSD for my head, I want to hear Dark Star/Saint Steven/The Eleven..." I wish she'd take off those boots but thats all she has on. No inner cranial nudity.
I'm just glad its over. I will be able to hide out the next two days and not have to see any men in Santa hats. I hate that more than anything else this time of year. No way. Really, I just looked out the window to see a fat man in red wearing a Satan hat. I will pursue having him tossed from the complex. Speaking of being tossed...I expect that at 1:00 I will be. I had one of my neighbors give me a disapproving glance when she saw me with a beer at 10:00 a.m. Lady when you wake up at midnight that is pretty late in the day. Tossed? you ask. As in out of the game. I suppose in the grand scheme of things I never was in the game. Yes, many a tear has to fall. Pardon me, I forgot to tell you my beer of the moment. I am drinking a Sam Adams (yes I know) Infinium, 2010. The reason I am drinking it is to test my beers from the vault. As some of you may know one of my best friends is sitting in prison for defending h

imself and his property (I have read pages of the court transcripts and it is a joke! I never tell him but he should have parked one in her head then there would be the 911 calls she made about her break in and stealing of a gun with no lies and politically agenda d DA bitch) Anyway I have been keeping a Vault of Beer for the last two years plus awaiting his release in about the same period of time. So having moved with a trunk, antique leather, full of beer (yeah man, most people would have drank it all and then moved) I decided I should test one to make sure they didn't go bad. After all they did spend two months in my van in the hea

t of day and cool of night. As it turns out they were well insulated. (Make that 3:00. Doing a lot of dancing) Back to it, I pored the Infinium and it smells similar to an Orval. Great sign. Now when I first bought it I wasn't too impressed with the taste, and I'm still not. But...I would say that if you

buy the 2011 and age it for at least two years it will be a very good beer. Just buy a very good beer now and if you do age it it will be great. I believe that Samuel Adams spends too much on packaging and advertising and not enough on right now great beers. Remember the Triple Bock? Great beer, over priced, over packaged. Gone. 55 and sunny today.

Shine On.

What a great little poem you started with! I updated the blog. The running was put on hold for a bit, but now its back on. There's a 5k in Feb. that I'm going to do. Not too risky, but I hope to beat my last time. How are the bike rides? And the job? I'm guessing you found one, but I don't know where. Sorry your neighbor is judgy, maybe you should offer her some beer next time. When she realizes you're drinking something fancy and not Coors Light, she might be nicer...
You always had good suggestions for flavors! What are your thoughts on some "post-holiday but still winter flavors"? I'm working on a Snicker Doodle, Cookies and Cream, and a Hot Cocoa.
Oh, and root beer float is totally going to be on my summer menu, thanks to you.
