What are you drinking right now?

[Chris_H_2]

I had a Celebration on Saturday night for the first time in 2 years. It was . . . just OK.

how many did your babysitter drink?

coincidently, she had a housewarming party (she just moved in with her fiancé ) and I had one there.

do you approve of her choice of men? was his house clean? how much money does he make?

all great questions

he's a nice enough guy, but he's not really motivated. the house was clean. I doubt he makes more than $50,000 a year. He's got a super rich uncle that basically hands him anything he wants.

is 50k in your world like 30k in mine?

i'm guessing it's more like a $80k in your world where you can stretch it a little further

wait, is that what you're asking. i'm confused.

oops yes i meant to go higher not lower

i'd say that's about right. although she lives in a pretty blue-collar suburb, so her taxes can't be too high.

how much do you pay her to babysit?

$16/hr

if she's there for 6 hours, do you give her $100 and ask for $4 back?

I would direct pay her $110. I always round up handsomely. She's a school teacher and I feel bad for her. But then again, I'm basically subsidizing her fiancé's rubbers

how likely is she to have an affair with one of her students?

she teaches 4th grade, so probably 5%

I've noticed a lack of posting about Celebration, drr. What gives?

i bought a 6pk this year and that was it....it just doesn't do it for me the last few years

This breaks my entire heart, doug.

i'm sorry, joey...i keep trying...SN beers have never been high on my list but I always try them all...the harvest releases are usually the ones I like best

It's okay. I just wouldn't even know or care about Celebration if not for you. I still look forward to it every winter. But I get it. It's much more of a nostalgia/seasonal thing for me than it is a great beer thing. Still.
