Steve. You've been movin' forward on the humor front of late - some good posts. Thanks for the effort on this - very sweet.
I've spent some of this evening reading on the Connecticut tragedy. I simply cannot get over that the mother was a gun collector and knew she had a mentally ill son. Not that that would have made a difference - but it certainly made it easier than it had to be. All those kids, all those families, his family, Christmas, no way to fix it, no way to make it better, ever. RIP. >________________________________ > From: seventhray27 <steve.sun...@yahoo.com> >To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com >Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 9:33 PM >Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: "Earnest Confusion" to Steve > > > >Thanks Share.

The jury is out on that, but it always tickles the insides. >Curtis – An extraordinary brewer. It seems his concoctions draw outsize >attention from beer critics.

Dark and rich in the true Bavarian Tradition. >Susan – Has what we used to refer to as 3/2 beer.
