TASTY TUESDAY

"in heaven there is no beer (no beer!)...that’s why we drink it here...and when we are gone from here...our friends will be drinking all the beer"
FLASHBACK sometime in 1977 (ish) 
kat and i are being rebels. we sneak two rolling rocks from the fridge and head into the woods behind the house. we immediately regret that decision.
FLASH FORWARD 1980 something
we're kids. we have very little money. we pool our funds together and buy the very best our money can buy: old milwaukee. bleck!
FLASH FORWARD today
i've grown up. so have my taste buds. i've said good~bye to old milwaukee and coors light and hello to guiness and yuengling. and, when opportunity strikes, i try new craft beers. did you know they make beer that tastes like chocolate? CHOCOLATE!!!
this week (may 13~19) is american craft beer week. the perfect week to go out and try new and different beers. afraid to order a a full pint of a beer you've never tried? ask your bartender to give you a sample. (s)he will be glad to. think you don't like beer? there are beers for every pallet...and a good bartender can help you find your taste. i love the bartenders at the moerlein lager house in cincinnati...i can give them a description of what i like and they bring me EXACTLY what i'm looking for! if you're in the area, it's a must try.
are you a HUGE fan of craft beer, like me and my bk? there is a great app available, from untapped llc, for iphone and android. with this app you can track the different beers you've tried, and locate craft beers you want to try. it will tell you the nearest bar that carries it and suggest other beers you might like, based on the ones you've already tracked. and it's a social site...you can see what beers your friends are trying and share a toast!
happy tasting!!

FLASHBACK 1976

daddy is done with school and decides we need to live in lebanon...i guess they don't need chiropractors in california. the parents conclude that it would be better to send us on ahead. we can live with the grandparents and start school while they try to sell our house. boo. so, they put us on a plane. me and the lil bro. it should have been a grand adventure. instead, the little bro cried. he cried the entire time. bahahaha hahahahahahahaha!!!


FLASH FORWARD january 2013
bk and i are headed to the airport. we know a snow storm is coming, but we'll be in the sky before it it's...right? are we right? we know we're right. we were wrong. the snow starts about 15 minutes before we get to the airport. a dusting. about 10 minutes before we get there, we have a solid inch. when we get there, we see a good two inches. ugh! please?please let us leave on time!? we board on schedule! yay! we pull away from the gate on schedule!! yay! and then we sit. we sit for an hour. ugh. we pay careful attention to the time. we are sure we will miss our connecting flight. we aren't worried though. big deal. they'll put us on the next one. the woman next to us continually stops the flight attendant "my flight leaves at 11:45!". so what? she can't make the plane go any faster. finally we land and everybody jumps out of their seat. EVERYBODY. jumps out of their seat. they are all certain that their connection is more important than everybody else's. the bk and i wait patiently. we laugh at everybody who rushed off the plane to wait for their bags as we walk on past them. as soon as we get inside we sprint through the airport. we have a few short minutes. awwww man! the door is closed. the gate is pulled away. we missed the flight by 3 minutes. so...we book the next flight out and hit up a restaurant...where we enjoy delicious burgers, beer, and a spiked milkshake. missed flights are FABULOUS!!

tips for delayed flights:
#1~don't act entitled...everyone else on your plane is delayed, too.
#2~relax...they will, eventually, get you where you are going.
#3~explore the airport. you might find a cozy little restaurant with great food.
#4~look at it as an adventure...there is nothing you can do so just make the best of it...
