This has been brought to you under the influence of many possible libations, some which bear names in my heart, the labels of which will be adorned by the art of various talented friends, once I convince them to offer it.

We've Barley Begun...
Today I received two things, both oddly related. The first was a small plaque from a co-worker bearing the quote "Beer is the proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" by Benjamin Franklin. The other thing I received was an email from the spouse of another co-worker who is interested in home brewing beer. He invited me to join him for a class at a local beer warehouse as he has an extra voucher. The wheels have been turning on this idea within me for some time, though slowly. It appears perhaps the time to shift to a higher gear, put my barley where my mouth is, so to speak. Hopefully, something comes of it other than a gut and bad liver. One day, I would love to have a brewery/restaurant, maybe something with pages of the classics strewn about the walls, low lighting, real wood. Food that people come for not to cure the munchies with, but to help celebrate the fabulous brews on tap. A place where everybody knows your name. Well, perhaps not quite like that. Maybe one of the bartenders would recognize you remotely. That's about the best you get these days.
