So far this summer has been little more than one hot mofo. I realized the conversation with my wife today was taking a morose leaning and we both were in a place were most people did little but annoy us and get on our bad side. Gossiping like hens at the back fence is really not a place to spend your evening…
But then I started noticing the general feeling of many of the people around me. I realized it wasn’t just us that are in foul spirits, it would seem the heat of summer is bearing down on many people and pressing them down like a thumbscrew. With this in mind, this post has little to do with beer. Instead I want to share with you all a song that seems to reflect the way this 4th of July (America’s Independence day) has felt to me when I find myself in this spiritual quagmire (around this particular holiday).
The band is one from the late 80s/ early 90s. Timbuk 3 had a one hit wonder that is often brought out for graduating classes “The Future is so Bright, I have to Wear Shades.” Check it out, its worth a listen…
Time for a pint…
