Guinness and Such

I think reading the article on Yahoo about how Guinness is less likely to get you tipsy than other beers was a bad idea. I spent yesterday drinking Guinness, playing bocce ball and playing monkey bar golf at Dan’s house with Dan and Kyle – when I went outside around 9:00 p.m. to fetch the balls and one half of the monkey bar golf pillars, the side of Dan’s garage (in the flower bed, to be specific) looked like an abandoned lot with almost 30 bottles lying next to it. I think we went inside sometime around 2:00 p.m., so that was merely the accumulation of the morning, long before playing games and doing some poker/gambling. It was probably an extremely appropriate blowout before I start worrying about my slightly elevated cholesterol (got six months to drop the next 25 pounds and clean up my eating a bit), particularly as it came on the heels of breakfast at the Louisiana Cafe, complete with three egg andouille omelet, pile o’ hash browns and coffee.
