Three Philosophers

9.5 alcohol %. It's too bad, because I didn't even want to finish this one. I man'd up and finished it, because sometimes you need a beer or two to get an appreciation of a beer. Not this one. One is enough. I'll call this a sipping beer, because it doesn't taste like beer. Paul Rating:D. I'm on a beer losing streak of 2.

Delirium Nocturnum

Yes, life is becoming more normal as you can see. My back is still very stiff at times which isn't a whole lot of fun, but anything beats how it used to feel. Surgery was necessary for me, I had no choice. And if I had my choice again, I wouldn't of bought this beer. 8.5 alcohol % level does give it a kick, but it's not worth it. Paul rating:D.

Lennon In America 1971- 1980 / Geoffrey Giuliano

If your a Lennon fan (I am),then you'll probably not want to read this. If you hate Yoko and blame her for the destruction of the greatest band on earth(I do), then this book will confirm all your hatred for her. It's an entertaining book, it gives you all the behind-the-scene drama after the break up of the Beatles. It gives some early Beatle drama as well. I won't spoil any of the good stuff in here, plus, it will take too long to tell. Paul Rating: B-.

I'm "Back"

Well, at least its over!!! I had to have surgery on my back last week. I ruptured a disk in my lower back (L4 -L5) that the doctor called" the largest ruptured disk he has ever seen". A steroid shot wouldn't cut it this time. I've been out of commission basically since Feb 17. I probably wont go back to work until the middle of April to recover. I'll post more about it as times goes, since sitting down is not very good for my back. Looking forward to Fridays Marlin vote, if it ever happens. I need some entertainment at this point. Peace

NYC

New York City. WOW! You realize how small town and backward South Florida is when you visit there. Sure we've got the weather, but New York City has the balls. Had a great time. My problem is I can't stop looking up. I love architecture and being there is like pure metallic heaven. We hung out with our friend Dave and a couple of his friends at Bar-Coastal (1st & 78th). Great bar and wings. I would say they are 'bout even with Wings n Curls in Hollywood, FL (My favorite wings (Hot)). That says a lot. Tried three different beers as you can see. My favorite was the Lucky 13(Middle) Paul Rating :A. Love the logo as well. Future tattoo possibility. Next is Reuben and the Jets. Paul Rating:B. Finally was the Maximus, a bit too hoppy. Paul Rating:C. The Ken Burns documentary on NYC is calling my name.

You'd think they'd be a little nicer.

Is it just me, or does Sawgrass Mills Mall have the worst customer service you can imagine? You'd think being one of the largest tourist attractions in Florida that they could be a little more "Disney" in their approach to customer service. Whether its going to the movies or just going to buy or eat something, their lack of professionalism always comes up. South Florida is well known for its poor customer service relations and I see no near term solution in sight. Although having to spend your workday dealing with Capri-wearing European tourists might drive anyone who works there over the edge. I can understand the anger. Why do Europeans wear such tight shirts with big guts? Why don't they understand personal space??? Its puzzling..... Next time your at Sawgrass, watch out for them Europeans, and definitely watch out for the Service.

R.I.P Beer Fridge( I loved you)

Yes, my World Famous Beer Fridge has fallen by the way-side. I adopted this old hunk of a beauty from my neighbors who were putting it out for bulk pick-up. "It runs cold" they said.......Indeed, perfect for a beer fridge! But lately shes gone Arctic on me, freezing and destroying all my beer and making it impossible to keep anything in it. I probably could have fixed it, but it was leaking as well and mold was starting to accumulate on the outside of it. So, I had to let her go. But don't worry, I put her out for bulk pick up this month and someone already took it from my pile. The Beer Fridge LIVES ON !!!! I have two little mini-fridges I am going to use now for beer. It should save some space for me in my garage. R.I.P Beer Fridge, I loved you!

Kona Pipeline Porter

This beer is either a "Morning Beer " or "After diner" beer. Tastes like coffee and is very good. You don't even feel like your drinking a beer. More like a strong iced coffee. Drink it while reading the Sunday paper, it will make Local and World events seem more interesting. Paul Rating: A.

Harpoon IPA

Well made beer. Yes! Great Logo and design as well. Very good. Paul rating:A.
