Beer is Good

It seemed like it would be too cold of a cold day to be outside drinking beer, but the sun was warm and the fellowship even warmer.

I wanted to stay longer. I REALLLY wanted to stay longer. I had not yet finished meeting all the attendees, colorful characters like Dirty, Dirty Martini Girl... Big Daddy... and Dude with Horns and Pelt on his Construction Hat... So many characters, so little time. But we had other things to do and people to see. Damn.

So, until next year, BockFest, when I shall make sure my calendar is free of other obligations. Thank you for your smokey ash-spewing fire and free-flowing (and inexpensive) excellent beers. I miss you already.

Rhinestone Sunglasses Make EVERYONE Look Good

Our trip to Palm Desert couldn't have been any better. Weather: fabulous. Cocktails: fabulous. Friends and Fam: fabulous. Our flights were even on time and our luggage made it both directions - holy crap... when was the last time THAT happened!!??

I really wanted to buy another pair of rhinestone sunglasses this year, but they were just too expensive and the seller didn't want to haggle! What? haha. However, the pair I bought last year DID make the rounds one gorgeous, sunny afternoon on the patio.

Enjoy.
