Making Beer (2)

Dan Gets things lit up
I went over to Jimbo’s house to watch he, his brother, and a colleague from work brew some beer. I went ahead of Karen and Francesca. When Sophia and I arrived I was introduced to some friends of Jim’s from his office. Sophia asked if she could get into the swimming pool. I told her, “You’ll need to wait until Mommy gets here.”

Jimbo Preps the Hops
The beer making began (along with some beer drinking). The home brew process generally produces interesting beer to drink. Watching the ingredients get thrown in and stirred about is a treat.

Lots of Hops for a Strong Belgian Ale
After Karen arrived one of Jim’s friends came up to me and we had the following conversation:
FRIEND: I have a problem that you might help me solve.
RICH: Okay.
FRIEND: When you and your daughter arrived you told her she would have to wait until Monica arrived. When I went to introduce myself to the woman that arrived with your other daughter I said, “So you must be Monica.” And she replied, “No, I’m Karen”
(beat)
So who’s Monica?
RICH: (Groan) No, I said when “MOMMY” arrives!

Jimbo Pours the Extract
Fortunately, Karen didn’t wonder who “Monica” was!
