The beer merchandise I ordered from Boulevard Brewing Co. arrived!
10 pint glasses, each with a unique logo, 2 tasting glasses, 1 Smokestack Series goblet (which is too large to fit in my dishwasher), a bottle opener, and a Lunar Ale tap handle.
Two delicate blossoms of Southern femininity, one from Mississippi and the other from Texas, were conversing on the porch swing of a large white-pillared mansion. The Mississippian said, “When my first child was born, my husband built this beautiful mansion for me.”
The Texan lady commented, “Well, isn’t that nice?”
The lady from Mississippi continued, “When my second child was born, my husband bought me that fine Cadillac automobile you see parked in the drive.”
Again, the Texas lady commented, “Well, isn’t that nice?”
The first woman boasted, “Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet.”
Yet again, the Texas lady commented, “Well, isn’t that nice?”
The first woman then asked her companion, “What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?”
The Texas lady replied, “My husband sent me to charm school.”
“Charm school!” the first woman cried. “Land sakes, child, what on Earth for?”
The Texas lady responded, “So that instead of saying, ‘Who gives a crap,’ I learned to say, ‘Well, isn’t that nice?’”
A certain measure of innocence
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make-believe
A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat
Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score
The measure of the moment
In a difference of degree
Just one little victory
A spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory
A certain measure of righteousness
A certain amount of force
A certain degree of determination
Daring on a different course
A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of the light and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willingness to rise above
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score
The measure of the moment
In a difference of degree
Just one little victory
A spirit breaking free
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory
The greatest act can be
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
One little victory
Just one little victory
Misery in my life
You caused the heartbreak deep down in my soul
Used to be a part of me
But now the table’s turned and this I know
Every time I think of you
It’s over, under, sideways, down
No matter what I try to do
I try to get you off my mind
Off my mind
I get, get, get you off my mind
Emotional solitude
A victim of the damage that you do
I can feel the magnitude
Confusion, that keeps holding me to you
