Words of wisdom

As Andy Warhol said, why be sad if you can be happy?

As my friend Robin says, why eat soup if you can eat pizza?



I went to my shrink today and got my prescription refilled and then rolled on down to Mad Fox Brewing Company and had some beer. They brew their own beer. The following quotes are about the beers I tried and are from their menu. "Porter: An English style robust Porter brewed with imported pale, crystal, black and chocolate malts to lend the dark color with ruby highlights and dark malt flavors. This is a beer supposedly created in London in the early 18th Century to slake the thirst of the Market Porters, men who carried all the produce at markets throughout the city. The hops used are English varietals like Challenger for bitterness and a good amount of First Gold to balance all the malt notes." and "Wee Heavy Ale: A Strong Scotch Ale. This is a very full-bodied, dark rich brew with a sweet malt character of much depth possessing the flavors of toffee, plums and currants. The hop varietal used in such small amount is English First Gold and can be barely discerned. The target gravity for this brew is 20 degrees Plato and hop bitterness of just 14 International Bittering Units, which is a measure of hop content." They are very serious about beer there, and brew their own. Porter was nothing special, but Wee Heavy was to die for.

Then I got a personal size pizza. They cook everything from scratch, meaning even the pizza dough was rolled in the kitchen. From their menu, "Mad Fox features fresh seasonal and local ingredients with a chef-driven menu that features pizza, panini, salads, meats and vegetarian friendly foods. Our chef works with local farmers to procure seasonal produce and locally raised lamb, bison, beef, chicken and game. The chef also features locally produced cheese, charcuterie, bacon and Virginia Country Ham." It was really good. I give it ****. (That doesn't stand for a cuss word. It means 4 stars.

Then I had an appointment with my therapist.
Do you think it's possible that I'm a wee bit self indulgent

So, anyway, I feel better than I did yesterday.
