Full house
We held the occasional poker game at our place last night. The usual seven suspects assembled for another round of food, drinks, cigars, stories, bullying, bluffing, and twists (simple and otherwise) of card-playing fate, all to a boomer soundtrack. Several of us have been playing poker against each other for three decades now -- half a lifetime -- and this particular group has held together all the way from pushing 50 to reaching 60.
The "hut," as our converted garage is known, was in need of a good cleanout, and we managed to get that done in time for the festivities. Perhaps as a reward, the cards came our way, and we ended the night about 17 bucks ahead of where we started. Not to mention a couple of leftover six-packs of good beer. Funny how the beer disappears more slowly these days. We've all gotten smarter about a lot of things.

Was this late night carousing the reason it took you until after 11 to make your first blog post?!?!?

Also funny how long orphan beers hang around after a party now. Some variety of holiday porter (circa 2008) has taken up residence in my beer fridge. In college no beer ever lasted more than a week.

I could put a single 12 ounce Porter (or maybe two) to good use braising a pork roast for New Years.
Do you deliver, or should I pick it up?

As long as the beer keeps disappearing.
