Late Publishing, Pirates, Belgian Beer

For the first time in more than six years running this iteration of my website, I have a barren monthly archive. (See history menu on the left side of a single-post page.) Sorry, June 2013. I only made July because I thought, “Hey, it’s the end of July and I’d be going two months without sending something into the blogging ether. Not OK.”

• Baseball will forever be dull as paint, but I guess it’s nice that the Pirates are the best paint in MLB right now. People keep telling me “Hey! The Pirates are in first place!”, which makes me think “baseball”, which makes me think, “I could go for a nap right now. I’ll just finish reading this coverage of Steeler training camp before I hit the hay.” That’s what yinzers do.
• Tonight I had a fantastic Belgian-style dinner at The Globe here in Garden Grove, Calif. Highly recommend it, and if you get a chance, also try some St. Bernardus ABT 12, which was awesome. I say that as a guy who doesn’t normally like Belgian beer either – too sour, but not Bernardus. Great name too that makes him sound like a more O.G. Roman version of the brandy-toting dog breed.
