Dearest Insurance Company,
If you would like me to pay the premium on the home insurance policy, you may wish to consider sending me a bill. While I believe I'm quite perceptive, my powers of telepathy apparently have not yet matured to the point where I can anticipate when bills are due or in what amounts.
I notified you that we were refinancing back in the spring, and yet the bill for our policy was still sent to the old mortgage company to be paid from escrow. Which would be hard to do, considering they don't have my mortgage any longer. All of this may help explain why I didn't pay it - but thanks for the letter telling me you're cancelling our policy. Enjoy the check I dropped off today, but realize that's money I could have spent on ESP lessons.
Warmest regards,
Gary
The beer for today is the TRI-PA, an Imperial IPA from Full Pint Brewing. This one was on draft at Mad Mex in State College - interesting that in a town where cheap macro brew still reigns supreme, there are bars putting forth very solid beer lists, and Mad Mex is definitely ahead of the curve in that realm. In the glass, I think this beer is sort of brown. Well, it was hard to tell due to the fact the bar was dark with green lights all around. The aroma (thankfully not affected by the dark lighting) has a lot of malt for an imperial IPA, and the taste was more Belgian than IPA in my book. Instead of a high degree of bitterness, with tons of grapefruit and pine, I noticed more of the caramel malt, sweetness, and stone fruit notes along the way. Maybe the green light threw off my taste buds? It wasn't a bad beer by any measure, just not what I was expecting.

Thing to Think About Today:
In the recognition of Full Pint and things that are full, we'll go with a Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise, a quite fantastic and wonderfully mellow song by an incredibly talented group, The Avett Brothers.
