Hey thanks for posting about the restaurant in Gibson City. My next roadtrip is planned. The menu looks fantastische too.

Good offer, Lew. Either send it or read it but if you read it , it’ll have to be real slow so I follow it and at a decibel level I can handle.

Either way, I promise I’ll leave Stan alone.

Stan version 2-0 (SteveH), he’s still fair game, right?

Jack, if you promise you’ll stop bothering Stan I’ll send you the piece. If that’s too much trouble, call me, and I’ll read it to you.

We don’ read about beer, we drink it.

(I say that only to be clever and amusing, ’cause it’s truly a self-defeating argument for a writer to make.)

Jack – I received the issue last week. Should be hitting newstands everywhere soon. Doesn’t The Best Beer-Drinking City in America get a special shipment?

I haven’t seen it either, which is why I asked about it. I suppose I could poke the Big Guy with a stick and get him to send it to me, but that would be wrong.

Now then, where did I put my stick…

“And, yes, I do worry for SteveH’s future.”

Because I’m not grown up at my age, or because I’d like to be more connected to the beer biz? Indeed, ’tis a conundrum!

Jack — if all it took to be successful (as Stan) was being on the streets and in trouble, I’d have been chasing Trump’s fortunes a looong time ago!

But back to biz, I haven’t read Lew’s article yet, saving it for the proper attention it deserves. Anyone else care to comment on the content?

Well, if it keeps him off the streets and out of trouble, it’s probably a good thing. Then again, aspiring to be you would likely require him to take to the streets and get into trouble, wouldn’t it?

‘Tis a conundrum.

PS: You made mention of Lew Bryson’s “History of Beer” in an earlier post and I emailed you to ask what you were referring to and you never responded. Bad Stan.

Sorry. I honestly did not see it. You know how I treasure email from you.

And, yes, I do worry for SteveH’s future.
