Nice Hurricane and Fall of Temperance!

Lagunitas Lucky 13.

Glenmorangie

Pilsner Urquell. blech czech.

That pizza makes me hungry and I already ate tri-tip and a pasta/potato/green bean salad with pesto.

I drank both Hurricanes because Claire didnt like it. I made her a Beton and then had a Stone IPA.

Thinking Last Word next.

I should have made a drink instead of having this beer.
