So, my friend Bill Shirley has announced his “plan” to go to Belgium, Holland and France in June.
I have not even left for my trip (which includes those very same destinations) and I am envious!
Good lord, what is wrong with me?
To say I am amped up about my own trip would be an understatement.
I fear now I may be jinxing myself just talking about it. These next few weeks are going to be tense with stress.
I am knocking on wood and request Dekan and Andrea please do the same (on my behalf).
Distraction is the name of the game. The last two Saturdays have included a trip to The Flying Saucer to be introduced to Belgian and Belgian style beers. Kind of a warm up, if you will. The staff there are quite knowledgeable and during the day very patient while educating the beer simpletons about the various brews.
Cynthia has become a fan of lambic style beers. I have discovered Fin Du Monde.
Our excursions have really only served to heighten our sense of anticipation. Still, it’s been fun. And I have a new appreciation of beer that will, with any luck at all, serve me well in Belgium. I suppose this is why I am envious of Bill’s trip. I am certain once I go I will develop a taste for well made beer and want to return to the land of beer often.
The wood’s been knocked.
We’ll be at the Flying Saucer this Saturday, but not until 7 PM. I’m THINKING about joining the UFO club.
Maybe I will catch up to you at the Flying Saucer this Saturday!
My friend (and co-host) Barrett has 2 or three plates there.
