The First Post in Over a Week

Yikes, it is hard to believe that something as important as this blog can go a full seven days without a new topic. With that being the case, here's my contribution. As the originator, and self proclaimed "Grand Poohba Blogger" of the blogosphere, I will diligently try to post something every day. Should I fail, I fully expect contribution from the masses.

Revisiting Day Trips.. I've been asked by one of this year's newbies if there will be a "brochure" describing the day trips. I said, but of course, we do it every time. Frickin' problem is I lied. Guess I now need to author a brochure to detail the options available.

Revisiting Day Trips Part Deux.. With a contingent the size of this year's, day trips and nightly Wiesn visits will certainly be a challenge. As it relates to the day trips, options will be provided (see previous paragraph), do what you believe to be appropriate. Attend if you want, do not attend if you have something better to do. Go on your own if you desire. The only rule will be.... we'll decide that later.

Waiting to hear of Barbus' conquest for a reserved table.....

Response for Sensei Larry.... I have been honored with an email exchange with Larry, God of Beer Drinking Books. He responded with my request to update my email address, and claims the new edition of TBDGTM will be available at the end of the month (we're waiting with baited breadth).

Should we forgo a day trip?... and just drink all day long at the Wiesn? We've never done that before, and it would assure us of an evening table if we got there when they opened. Just a thought.

The $64,000 question... Will this be our last trip to Oktoberfest? We have said that many times, and mostly in jest. But as some of us get older (you know who you are), will you really want to go on another 5-day drinking binge when you could be relaxing in your wheel chair, sipping Metmusal, dreaming of pictures of scantily clad octogenarians, and wondering if the German Pissorts are better than your custom fitted Depends? Just remember, with the Depends, you do not need to get up to relieve yourself.

and now you know my thoughts of the day.
