So, how do we welcome home our boat club's past Commodore and White Shoals
Sailing Club's biggest supporter after 150 days of beer-free existence? Why,
we put a pallet of beer in his driveway!
The good news is that it appears that Ed will be rotating home from his
posting at the US Embassy in Baghdad early, and he could be home by March
17th. The bad news is that he's now gone 120 days without a brew, and if you
know Ed, you know he loves beer. You have to appreciate that the occasional
mortar rounds were not nearly as unsettling to Ed as the lack of a cold one.
So, if you wander in to Bon Vivant or anywhere that sells Belgian or German
beer in the next month, pick up a six or twelve pack. His favorite Belgians:
Leffe, Triple, Trappist, Hoegaarden. German: Wheat (Weiss) beers. Good ol'
USA's MGD and Sam Adams also known to be favorites.
I've located a pallet and hope to stack it more that just modestly with a
selection of beers from his friends. (And, yes, I'll have a tub of ice on
top of the stack to cool off his first few.) When the arrival date gets
closer, we'll look into an informal get together to help him, huh, move the
pallet out of the way.
In the interim, I'm the beer collection point. 115 Commodore Lane. (Kinda
fits, doesn't it?)
Final note: This is a top secret operation. Ed is not to know of this; let
it be a surprise and a reminder that he's been missed by his sailing
friends.
Questions, call or email me.
