Linden Street Brewery Lager. A Love Supreme.

I have NEVER been a lager man. I'm porter, almost always.
HOWEVER, that was before I had both the LS lager as well as the California-style unfiltered version at a skate away from the crib over at Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon
It was a no-brainer. Stay inside on a balmy Friday afternoon to have my pint (bicycle-delivered keg snapped fresh from the tap) in a chilled glass as opposed to something plastic gathering alchemy.

No matter the nearby helicopters reminding me that OWS Oakland was snatching up national attention blocks away- protests in full-effect.

But.

I had my NYT Magazine back issues rolled and ready for reading; a hard week of teaching ;lay in the wake. It was high time to get some relaxation in.

Linden Street's current lager incarnates implore you to celebrate your unwinding with one. Have one, heck TWO Lagers. Cold.

The blissful smile upon the first sip'll arrive on your face as a courtesy.

Patagonia Field Report.

Bean Bowers' recollection of traversing and ice lake is good stuff. I want to share it with my 5th graders:

"As I worked my way along, I gazed up at the steep glacier, dreading the long slog up to the snow cave. Just then, smack in the middle of the lake, I heard a crack and in an instant I was sinking. Pinned. Stuck. Screwed. My skis had gone from a light-and-fast ticket across the lake to deadweight anchors. I stopped sinking once my pack hit the slurpee-like water. I looked at the shore as the weight of my situation fully sunk in. Swim or die...."

The Ninety Nine Percent. Oakland's Overreaction?

The supporting cast at Blue Bottle Coffee on the 7AM daily get pretty deep off the cup.
An astute group that can drop science without a second thought, like:
"...the helicopter; that's the sound of an other person's civil liberties being violated."

And the next (day) thing you know...downtown Oakland was flashing and banging.

Done. Man City. Sweat The Technique.

THIS kind of football with these kinds of goals makes one relish, relish, relish, the sport.
Congrats on the 6 - 1 feasting on Manchester United!!!
