More from the Tuesday Tapper Crew
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
--Ben Franklin
I feel a bit like Royko describing the happenings in the Billy Goat.
I arrived early yesterday for Tuesday Tapper at my favorite watering hole—Jacks—and I was joined by Rick. We talked of the trip he and Dan took to Wisconsin and the usual “stopping up the toilet” stories. Uncle Dan arrived next to dispel the “stopping up the toilet” stories. He was enlightening when he described the caught on the lake in the rain story. Josh—a bartender—told us how Jacks was going through litigation. Adam—bartender extraordinaire gave Rick, Dan, and me a freebie in celebration of his now constant Tuesday Tapper bartending duties. We like Adam a great deal, so we tipped him generously.
Mike T. next showed and we discussed the Bears and the dilemma of Briggs. Charles came in and we talked of the Rogue Rye we all had to try, and as Dan put it—“You are a pussy if you do not try it.” Even I released my summer grip of wheat beers to sample the Rye—mighty tasty if I say so myself. I went back to my pussy wheat beers after.
Mike H. joined us later with sad news of the loss of a family member. All passed good wishes to Mike and gave their various condolences, and then Denny showed.
I talked to Mike H. about our usual love of rock music—mostly Neil Young, as I encouraged him to buy the new Nick Lowe and to keep an eye on the new Neil Young Box set.
Rick and I passed some crap to each other as we joked about life in general. Uncle Dan and I discussed family matters.
Denny talked of humanity and the weakness of mankind with me.
Throughout the stories of tragedy, enlightenment, and woe, we all reached an understanding. Life is good, and beer tastes great.
The gentlemen I quench my parched taste of brew with each and every Tuesday were interested in my new Sam Adams Glasses (see picture above) sent to me via my subscription to About Beer Magazine.
They were also looking out for my well-being when discussing impending personal issues. They even saluted my promotion as department chair.
I had to buy a round—maybe that was why they saluted me???? I have to check on that.
Life is an amazing trip—enjoy and prost!
