I love the Irish ... Who doesn't like beer. Good beer. Tall, dark and tasty beer. I might have to have a beer or three every night for the next seven days to celebrate the beer holiday. St. Patrick's Day. The beer of choice tonight is a Saison. A Belgian farmhouse ale. It was brewed special for me last Christmas. I chose a dark and spicy brew. It was part of my gifts, for friends who enjoy a dark beer, during the holiday season. I held back a case for quiet times. It gets better as the weeks pass.
I might need to make a special beer run out of town this weekend to stock up for the Holiday. There is one large bottle of Irish Stout that was brought back from the mountains for me that I will save for next weekend.
Spent a week in Ireland last year. My second trip. It won't be my last. I love that place. Yeah, the beer, but mainly the country side and their laid back way of life. Awesome. Probably the closest I have come to that feeling in the USA is when I was in Vermont. Upper Michigan is beautiful and unpopulated. The state of Washington and British Columbia are artsy and beyond beautiful. Vermont is like stepping back in history. Everything everywhere is small town. England and Scotland, away from the big cities are like Ireland. Not many choices, just simple day to day living, no hustle and bustle. I think people live years longer. It is about quality and not quantity.
It is a peaceful nice feeling to be sure.
Isn't that a great analogy! When I read that it was a keeper. I am a visual and word driven person. And let me tell you ... When the written word paints a picture in a way I have never seen, heard or thought of ... WOW. I sit up, take notice and derive great pleasure from it. I have actually written authors before that tickled my fancy and let them know how much I truly enjoyed their work. It is just nice to step out of the box sometimes.
Time to enjoy my beer and finish up this weeks work.
