Son1111 at Senior Football Camp

I have mostly been occasionally lurking here.

Yes, mostly on FB.

But wanted to check in with this milestone.

How time flies!

That sounds about right.

The other day I went to a Happy Hour from work after a meeting. It was to a new local brewery called Two Roads. He asked me to check it out to see if it was somewhere he and his friends would want to hang out.

Now I get to scout out bars for him.

:shock:

Did you give an honest report? Or was it "Oh, no, you and your buddies would never want to hang out at a place like that!" :mrgreen:

Well they certainly make a wide variety of beers! We have five brewpubs (some with more than one location) here but none have such a large variety.

I was honest. He is pretty responsible about drinking and driving. First, a DUI would probably get him kicked off the team. Secondly, he probably wouldn't get into the Academy when he graduates.

The bar closes early (9 pm) since it is mostly a brewery that only recently expanded into the bar. And there is no food. You can bring in food and they have a rotating number of food trucks that visit on certain days.

They tend to look for cheap wings and cheap beer. :-)

Police academy. No plans for the military.

That is the plan.

And since she was able to retire 3 years ago, not a bad plan.
