Beer and Deep Fried Vittles

2008-08-28T18:58:34Z

Last night was date night at our house. We were supposed to go to a baseball game, but due to incredible tiredness factors occurring around 6 p.m. last night, that didn't happen. So we ended up at the old watering hole. I was gonna order a glas...

This morning I had breakfast with an old friend of mine. One of my oldest friends really, we met in high school and have had intermittent but intense contact ever since. When we're close, we're really close. We are able to empathize and underst...
