Yup, Highland Brewery is nice. Asheville is a great place. I'm trying to talk my family into having our Chirstmas Get-together in Asheville this year.

If you do, or even if you don't, butt-end up there around that time, get some Cold Mountain Winter. Yer buds will thank you.

Water.

Drinkin' nuthin'
but water is
so boring.

Unless yer in Mexico.

Ole to that.

Good point.

Lucky you.

I don't think so, pal. Bodily systems are a bunch of wusses and they should be ignored.

Mine left after I ignored them for so long.

Speak for yourself, Cros. My digestive system alone deserves a badge for service in the face of adversity.

My systems have seen better daze . . .

Almost an hour left before I get off of this inane gig.


The medicine wagon is a godsend -- I feel better already.

My systems are
great.

My impulses need
tuning.

If I want something too bad, I don't do it.











At least not right away . . .

I'm good on the
rest, just my oldest
friend, John Barleycorn,
finds it easy to get
me to tip all instantaneous
and on and on.

He's a good friend,
that needs close supervision.

Eating some Belgians tonight. Should have waited till tonight to watch 'Night of the Living Dead'.

It's wednesday. I switched from water to beer.

Belgian is good, even if it has too much vanilla in it.

Strawberry milk.

And chocolate.

But, not Waffle
chocol.

Tastes better than water?

I caved,
margaritas.

Fuck all,
iced tea all afternoon
then dinner with glassy to celebrate a potential new job (hers),
2 glasses o' wine there and the train leaves the station.
No stopping it now, brakes ain't workin'
Grate.

New job? Cool, tell her I said congrats. As if her previous one wasn't interesting enough. If she's improving upon the previous job, is she like building a time machine now or something?

I really like Margaritas without the mixer and ice.

Real ones,
top notch tequila,
cointreau,
fresh squeezed lime juice.
Shaken and served straight up.
Too damn smooth.

She loves her present job,
just that the managment has made it damn near impossible to enjoy it.

Her new job will be basically the same though,
robotics tech for a pharmacutical company.
I'll miss her DNA stories...

Sleepy time nighty night tea.

Seriously,
that's what it's called.

I'm on day 2 of sobriety.
... and my roomates just brought home 4 cases of free beer, and then invited me to a Long Trail promo down the street... where I'd get free beer.

Damn timing.

Timing and sobriety never go together.

Tequila makes my knees tingle.
Like ants doing ballet.
Feels kind of silly actually.

I think that's true most places. I'm glad she's getting away from it.

I'm glad to see the fratboy lifestyle doesn't have to end, ever. When is the next reunion?

JW red makes bunny cry.

Congrats to
Glassy.

She's a good
kisser.

Made real margies
last week. I muddle
a little hot pecker
w/the sugar.

Zowie!

Homecoming weekend in Sept.,
and no it doesn't have to end.
20 years and still going.

All your post are belong to me!

Limeade and
sinkhole water.

Day 7.
No booze.

It's a new record.

10 here.

I did 5 weeks a
couple years back.

All that lovely
HG is screamin'
for a taste, though.

Just a taste.

I haven't had a week off in years.

As for the HG, remember it gets betterer with age. Let it scream it's fool head off.

Starting w/the
oldest.

And since it
won't be guzzled
in a sitting, we'll
be able to observe
the changes.

Good that you're taking a break from it. It'll be that much better when you decide to enjoy them.

After a long day, it seems like blanche time. Lush Life Suisse, Brut d' ALambic and White Goddess.


The train has left the station . . .

A couple from the ASB and a Besançon!

Nice recipe Grim. I think I'll try it.

1 glass
1 12 oz bottle of beer

Empty later into former.
Repeat x12 (or so...)
Regret @ start of 6am bike ride

I doubt Grim's recipe will work with Grate-H-sinthe.
