Merry Christmas Eve! NORAD Tracks Santa

Good evening all and Happy Holly Jolly Friday! Fittingly, Dave is on the jukebox singing "eat, drink and be merry!" Warmed up to the high 60s today and even after 7pm it was still 64 degrees. This time of year, I wish we were getting some of the winter weather that you're getting up north - well, except for the cold temps. Perhaps I spoke too soon as I see we may be getting the cold temps sans the winter weather next week. As promised in my last post I have a new beer I'm trying tonight. Typical for this time of year, Santa delivers and does he ever in Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve . While less intense and not as sweet as the Double Dead Guy from the other night, Santa's Reserve just may be the smoothest heavily hopped ale I've tasted. The beer is a deep red amber color and the smell of the hops are immediately evident. The consistency may even be slightly lighter than other ales, but not light in taste. The tasting notes on the Rogue Web site state...

I'm always up for trying new beers, so when I received the news article in the mail ( see photo ) from Poppa Gar recommending the Rogue Double Dead Guy Ale , I figured why not. Especially a beer that comes in a bright red bottle this time of year seems rather festive regardless of its name. I picked up a Double Dead Guy today at the Total Wine, along with another new brew that I'll feature in my Friday post. The shopping complex at this Total Wine was crawling with holiday shoppers. I could barely find a place to park and even had someone tap my bumper while leaving, but all was well. The bump happened at a very low speed and after inspection found nothing wrong. We both went our merry way. Today was a foggy, dreary, rainy day - all day. Had it been cooler, I suppose we would have had snow flurries, but we actually hit the 60s today. Enough about that, on with the beer. Like a vampire, light is one of beer's worst enemies, this is the reason many beers come in a brown bottl...

Good evening all and Happy Friday! How about a joke to start off... What are the two dirtiest animals on the farm? Brown chicken, brown cow. I'm not a big "joke guy," but sometimes the simplest ones always seem to get me. BTW... if you didn't get the above joke, sing the answer. There are two other super simple jokes that for some reason always get me. In no order... If you're American in the living room, what are you in the bathroom? European! And the other one is not so much a joke, but just goofy. My butt is broke, it's got a crack! OK sorry for the trip to 5th grade, but had to relate the other two after starting off with the "Brown chicken, brown cow." Hope everyone is having a good start to the weekend and enjoying the biggest full moon of the year . Although I'm thoroughly enjoying my Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, The Lazy Acres Crew made me jealous when they sent me the pict of their 2nd margarita at Senor Pique's. Salud, Fearys! Od...

Strung the outside Christmas lights this weekend. Ayecarumba, it's been cold here. I thought this was the south! Yesterday was so cloudy with dampness in the air, if it had been just a little bit cooler I think we could have gotten some snow. Instead just some rain shortly after nightfall. Our low tonight is supposed to go down to 23! At least it looks to warm up later this week. Oh yeah, by the way... the EAGLES BEAT THE GIANTS!!! Booyah!

Happy Friday, or should I say a Holly Jolly Friday! Also Happy Repeal Day ! Sorry to be away from posting for awhile. I have been updating the Twitter from time to time, but have not had a chance to make a proper blog post.  Let's see, well what's happening right now... I'm enjoying a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, Ella Bella just dropped her toy mouse behind me wanting me to throw it for her, and the jukebox just went from Dean Martin to The Isley Brothers -- some things never change :~) The jukebox is actually spinning a new playlist I created the other day. It's called "Woodside Christmas" and combines all the tracks from the regular Woodside playlist along with all the tracks from my Christmas playlist, which includes everything from Frank, Dean, Nat, Jackie Gleason, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall, Bing and Boston Pops on up to and including South Park's "Mr. Hankey's Holiday Classics." Almost forgot Ray Charles, who just came on sing...
