We've got nothing going on today except I need to finish food shopping. I always go to Aldi & then Food Lion for whatever remains on my list. Yesterday I was short on time so I didn't get to FL. We also decided last night to have some neighbors over to celebrate the birthday of one of them. Since it was last minute we'll be short 2 couples but will still have a good time.
Slept till about 7:30 here. We'll make a stop at the liquor store for a pick up order, then to our favorite brewery. They have a party every year for a special beer they only release at this time each year. It's a "Hop Zombie".. And it's one where I drive, cause it's a "Beer Holiday" for E.
I went to another beer tasting at Total Wine this afternoon. On the way home I saw a purple car, dark purple like the color of grape juice, and the license plate was GWAPE. I wonder if the owner has a speech impediment or GRAPE was unavailable.
Good evening.
Settled into hotel near Detroit Metro airport. Will catch 4:30 am shuttle to get our day of flying rolling.
Should be in the air by 7 am & in Key West by 1 pm. With check in at 4:00 hope we’ll have the good fortune of having our room ready soon after arrival. With fantasy fest finishing this weekend not sure if our chances are optimum. Oh well, take what we get.
Michigan/Michigan State now on the tube.
GO BLUE!!
Corona by day, Corona by night, any old time is just alright!

I wonder if it was Barry Kripke....
The problem is that the younger me didn’t think there’d be an older me and now the older me has a bunch of stuff to fix because the younger me was an idiot.

We had a great time at the brewery - lots of people we haven't seen in a long time showed up, and the place was packed. Good food truck there, too. I had a few sips of this year's "Hop Zombie" and it was great. (ABV was 9.2) But I was the designated driver, so I had some sodas (which were made in CO, and I had a few Root Beers).

Safe travels and all that, Ken!
