I wish I was lying, but not ten minutes after finding out today that someone has stolen some equipment from my shop, I go inside, sit down at my desk, frustrated and mad as hell, only to have the phone ring and a recorded sales voice say, “If your company needs equipment, then you’ll want . . .”

Oh, Keith.  I wish you were lying.  That’s just bloody awful!

It is frustrating, that’s for sure.

This is one of those moments that you find yourself wanting to say “let me know if I can do anything” but know that there probably isn’t.

I’d say banana beer exists. 

“We have banana beer, we have even prunes, peach beer, almonds, we have every kind of fruit.” Jan De Bruyne, publican in Bruge.

You can’t mail bananas to the U.S.  We’ll both be arrested on some sort of trumped-up fruit fly charges.

Oh wait!  Is it banana beer?  I’ll email you the address right away!

Done!  I’m sure someone in this nutty land makes banana beer.  Sounds disgusting, frankly.  Beer is for drinking, not for putting fruit in.

Don’t be so hasty!  A good thick Hefe with a generous squeeze of lemon.  So good.

Matter of fact, I’ve brewed some blackberry hefeweizen that I couldn’t drink fast enough it was so tasty.  I’d forgotten about that.  I should break out my beer equipment, that’s what I should do.

I was about to say that I’ve never drunk beer with fruit inside of it.  However, while in Boston I had some beer that (supposedly) had apricots in it.  I’ll admit, I quite liked it.

The wild and crazy things you do on holidays.

You should break out your beer equipment!  Hurry!  What are you waiting for?  Do you need my address?  Blackberry beer sounds quite interesting…

I wish, that be cheap to replace.  So far it’s a chainsaw and a blower, so about $1000.  I haven’t taken a complete inventory, but I’m hoping that’s all they grabbed.
