My mom is supposed to go home tomorrow, which seems unbelievable. By the way, I heard Kaki King tore a ligament in her arm and is canceling shows. Sorry if you are missing her. Have fun at the show today.

I already initiated with Todd and I know him well.

I'm not always a fan of chocolate beers, but the Mokah is awesome. Cheers Mike!

Some mysterious but kind person left me a bottle of Rebdezvous Rye that I will open soon. And because Shelly threw down the Saz 18 gauntlet I will have to have some Van Winkle Family Rye post-ballet.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie to Dusty's recipe and with his beer! Tasty snack and no milk needed! Thanks Dusty, and be sure to come out for that concert so you can drink more beer that you missed last time.

Yeah, the prick should go last.

Yup, Dinny makes 8!

Have fun with Lily, Nate, and have a great trip to LA John! Sorry I won't be down south to visit.

I think the joke would be "that's Mr. Skin Flute to you" Get it right or don't bother.

Looks like you, Gene and Newguy are going to have a good one. Jealous but happy you can all hang. Have one of those Southern Tier 2XIPAs and report back! Cheers boys.

A second Remember the Maine, a dram or two of Eagle Rare 17 and a dram of William Larue Weller.

Agreed and agreed.

Stay away from Russell's Rye! Suckage.

Yeah, I want to try the Bulleit Rye too! Enjoy Mikey.

Lips of Faith La Folie and Eric's Ale have been mentioned before.

2008 Gamba Zinfandel with dinner and now a Remember the Maine with Eagle Rare 17. Love this drink. I think I would use Punt y Mes for Dubonet, Marc. Just drink your shot Shelly!

Waiting is fine by me too.

No indication so far, but I will tell him 7 is our minimum.

Todd is willing to work on the group buy but he is not going to be able to work out the details and figure what he can do for another 7-10 days. That may be too long for people, so let me know. How many people do we have who are actually going to do this?

Edwyn Collins -- Losing Sleep

Fuck you very much, Jacob.

I'm hungry and that makes me mad! You don't even say that you had duck fat fries, which would probably would have made my head explode, so thanks for that.

All these good wishes are paying big dividends. I just visited my Miracle Mom this morning, and the improvement is truly remarkable. She is clear headed and conversant and was quite capable of independently standing up and even claimed she has gone to the bathroom herself. We chided her for that one, but seriously I cannot believe the difference from my last visit when she could not talk clearly or even stand up on her own. She really didn't know where she was until yesterday, and now wants to head home immediately, but at a minimum she will have to spend some interim time at a nursing home for rehab and more care than we can guaranty at home. Best of all, I asked my Mom if she wanted to go to see the World Champion San Francisco Giants on Opening Day two weeks from today and she said “Sure I do!” I guess we have a new goal to achieve!

How many heads did you have to control in the mosh pit, Jeff? Did you partake in Cirque de Mosh, Shelly?

Such a shame.
