Went out to La Casita with Sharon & Lucy tonight-had some good food. I also asked if they had any Mexican imports on tap.
"Just Dos Equis Amber," replied the server
"That sounds great-what sizes do you have?" I queried.
"A regular size and then a large."
"How many ounces is the large?"
"Uh-I'm not sure-it's around (gesturing) this big.."
"That sounds just fine. Bring it on."
It was at least 24 oz., but maybe closer to 30. The draft was cool and inviting as it slid down, and I gotta say-for a guy that can put them away when he has to, I sure do settle into a pleasant buzz after just a couple. I realized that I've not had more than a single beer at a sitting since probably when Cory & I shared a pitcher at Christmastime. And prior to that, it was probably my trip out to Massachusetts last summer. And I think I miss it nearly as much as Mixdorf.
Anyway, I was thinking about the impending visit by my good friend from the East Coast this summer, and just reflecting how we may be unleashed in a somewhat debaucherous manner upon the strange brew each evening during our time together, and the potential of strenuous, peak-performance styled physical activities of the daylight hours, when our mission hit me: We shall have such a mixture of athletic, adventurous achievement and alcohol consumption as to put French Adventure Racing teams to shame.

Will there be more bleeding from the chest?
I hope not.
He will be far too dehydrated to bleed. His veins & arteries will be filled with solid scab.
I'll get a one-way ticket. You can ship my sad remains home.
Dan, clean out the fire place and send those ashes to Faith. Put them in a nice jar and put a label on it with Mixdorf's name on it. Then bury Mixdorf in your backyard, so that you can see him whenever you like.
Then you can come up to see me next.
I may not be dead, just a husk of my former self.
So, am I not coming up when Mixdorf comes? Sounds like you are giving me that hint.
Oh, boy. Here we go. Yes, you're coming up when he comes up! If you'd like, I can do away with you at that time, rather than wait till later.
