Brew Belly and M & M

 Our friends M&M are back in town this week. It was weird knowing they are staying 5 miles away at a hotel, near his office. I'd asked M if she wanted to come here and hang out during the day and she said she likes being by herself. She's disappointed the hotel has no pool. And to be honest, so am I. I'd so be over there instead of her coming here. So she found the county pool and took an Uber there and had a great day to herself. She deserves it. 

We went out to dinner with them tonight. Doug had suggested we go to one of our fave breweries and eat on the patio. M said he would rather eat inside, it is just too hot to be outside. I said ohhhh yes. I'm only now kind of getting used to being able to sit out in the evening and not be dead from the heat. I suggested he'll get used to it and he said no way. He said that after years of being in the Navy, in a 120 degree engine room, the heat is psychologically taxing to him. 

I get it. I understand. And I can honor his request to sit inside. They asked about a place called Brew Belly, I told her we've been there several times and love it. They have all sorts of local beers on tap, cans for take-out, and some of the best cheesesteaks south of philly.  We met up there and discovered it was Trivia Night, so of course we played. How fortuitous that we ended up there instead of getting take out and going to the other brewery. We can save that for the fall.

We didn't win but had a blast. Bonus questions saved our lives and kept us in the top third of the teams. Great dinner, great company, lots of fun. 

One of the rounds was to identify school seals from military academies and ivy league schools. We sucked at this. Crushed a couple other rounds but. Wow. Who the hell knows or cares. Harvard? Brown? Cornell? the hell? We had a good laugh. So glad they are here and will be here coming in the future.
