Game Night

Family game night
Gets way too competitive
When we play for beer.

And Give Thanks

Stopping for a beer
Amid mad preparation
I have to marvel

20 pound turkey wrapped in bacon
Photo and haiku by Captain Hops.

References: It’s Thanksgiving day in the US and that means enjoying family and food… and all the liquid refreshment that allows that to happen. I know I have a lot to be thankful for when I am staring at a 20 pound turkey completely wrapped in bacon and ready to go into the oven. I will try to take an “after” picture when it is finished cooking, but in my house something like this doesn’t usually sit around long enough to do that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Family Holidays

Woke up in a sweat.
Hangover and a black eye.
Christmas with brothers.

It’s the right thing to do

Out in the open
young adults appreciate
and learn to respect

Written by Captain Hops.

References: It’s pretty obvious as demonstrated by every other civilized country in the world that people have a greater respect and appreciation for alcohol and are less likely to abuse it when they learn to enjoy it in a safe, responsible, and nurturing environment with their families. There is a movement afoot to begin debate on returning personal responsibility and sensible drinking laws to the national landscape. Organizations have formed to shed some refreshing light on the misleading, misused, and outright wrong statistics bandied about to support the neoprohibitionist movement. Educate yourself and choose responsibility.

Where was your first beer?
shared at a family meal
or hidden away
