P.A.L.S. Meeting
7-28-00
A cool autumn-like breeze
kept the mosquitoes at bay as we sat in Joan’s backyard for this July meeting
of P.A.L.S. The timing was perfect
as it enabled us to have a repeat guest member, BVIer and Californian Rhonda,
and a special out-of-town guest member, Carrie. We sure hope Joan’s neighbors are forgiving
because we tended to be quite raucous and obscene (maybe THAT helped keep
the mosquitoes away, too). However,
some of us were more obscene than others!
Heidi was dropping “F” bombs, while Joan confessed she bombed with
the ”bomb”. The meeting began late because of tardy members,
although those on time got a bit of a head start. The latecomers, on the other hand, had a head
start of their own! The evening was
a blast and one not soon forgotten. For
this meeting, our ratings were based on a total of 35 because there were 2
guest members. Note however, that
2 of the beers rated are on a scale of 30 total as we lost a member, not quite
missing in action but rather retired for the evening. The meeting accomplished the task of rating
the beers despite the distraction of the intense jocularity. I will say it again, old friends are the greatest!
And I don’t mean old as in old. It was wonderful to have our out of town friends
with us, to reminisce and to renew. Thanks
for being part of our club!
Here is a beer lesson
