I’ve got what you want.
I am handsome, brave and drunk.
Come away with me!

Is 10 o’clock too early?

Home Office Blues

In working from home
I find that the beer I crave
Is temptingly close….

High

High over Times Square.
Have we reached the crazy place?
Nine dollars a beer!

Contributed by Captain Hops.

References: Just got back from New York City. The weather was perfect and we found a swanky rooftop bar at the top of the Dream Hotel. When I got the bill, I realized that I could have bought a keg back home for the price of six beers. I am sure there’s a joke here somewhere, but right now it’s not very funny. I guess I have to accept the fact that I am not a rock star.

Are you seeing what I’m seeing?

two fisted drinking
toasting the stars in the sky
was she a mirage?
