Barley Pop

Pop, indeed.  Purists will shudder but I enjoy this beer from time to time...

That would be a Sammy Adams Cherry Wheat (C+ at Beer Advocate), which I think just might be the perfect drink for our first 80-degree day here on The High Plains of New Mexico.

We're recently in from our daily errands... including collecting our snail-mail, at which time we were pleased to find that eagerly-awaited shipment from Amazon lurking in our mailbox.  Today's Happy Hour Soundtrack will begin with "Low Country Blues"... no Pandora today, thank ya.

And now to fire up both cigar and stereo, put the awning down, and enjoy.  I hope your day is going half as well as mine, Gentle Reader.
