Enjoy every sandwich

Warren Zevon said it best. Enjoy every sandwich. This would have been my 43rd anniversary. Grab the person you love; hold them tight and let them know how much they mean to you. Don’t put it off because you may not get a second chance. Keep them in your heart for a while.

I missed one anniversary. I didn’t want to, but you know, timing and priorities and such. I found this at the bottom of my suitcase. I never missed another. Keep me in your heart for a while.

She was so nervous. She didn’t really want to do a wedding at all. And the church was not a small church. But she survived! And in the back, I was highly amused..

More Hops!

Modern Methods just released the beer that I helped pick hops for a month ago, 7 Frogs. Then two weeks ago, I went down to Noble Creature to pick more hops and brew beer.

WHile we were picking, Ira was brewing a 15 gallon batch outside.

OBX

Spent the week at Corolla, NC with my sisters, nieces and nephews. The weather was absolutely perfect – mid 80s and not a single drop of rain. We like to tempt fate and go in early September (at least until the grand-niblings are old enough for school) and we hit it perfectly this time.

We were in one of those huge houses, right on the beach. 18 of us, but the house had nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms. Lots of fish; lots of beer, and even a pinball or two at the Sunset Grille

I came back in one drive, but on my way down stayed in downtown Fredericksburg, VA. Nice town with some really good breweries. Red Dragon was excellent but I think I liked Water’s End best, if only for the name of their flagship beer – Damn Beer. I got to say ‘Gimme a Damn beer!’, and I’m sure I was only the 4,382nd person to do so. This year.
