This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

Leinie

“Even in Eau Claire, you ladies need to watch your drinks”

The driver is looking out for us.
It’s very sweet.
But we don’t need a reminder.
We have heard enough stories to know.

It’s second nature to us.
Guard your drinks, be aware.

Even in Eau Claire.

It’s hard enough for me physically
(being here)
that I just push electrolytes
And it does the job.

I have exactly one shandy, sitting about on second base.
Sitting there feeling a little down and out.
Just another moment to move through.
Me and a can of beer and some music.

Summer Shandy,
(Smiling)
Ahh….almost like you thought of me,

I’m not really here alone.
I just lost the friends for a moment,
Will find them later, before the big sets.

And of course,
This is Wisconsin, so when in doubt…grab yourself a Leinie.

There is always something cold in the fridge.

(Summer Shandy, leinenkugel, especially on draft is one of my favorite beers. It is a little tough finding it during the summer in Boston. Sometimes the chat has it, but not this year. Dogfish 60 minute ipa is also a standard. Both were represented at festival, A+ on the beer selection, though I only had the one Shandy bc I wanted to stay on my feet. Kristy collects beer. She approved. We talked beer a lot on the livestream. We even had a jolly German friend. Shandy and 60 min were mentioned multiple times. And the mythical spotted cow, which … I’m still not sure exists)
