40

I like "40" by U2, the P-40 aircraft, 40 ounces, the 40 yard line, "40 Days" by Chris Robinson & The New Earth Mud, Isaiah 40, John Berryman's Dream Song 40, Pensees #40 -- and now I see a rainbow.

Oktoberfest tapping at TBonz!

The Oktoberfest will be on tap at the other TBonz locations on Friday (Sept. 18).

The beer is produced by New South Brewing Co. in Myrtle Beach.

Magic Hat's Hallowen 12-pack

It's finally out there, now that Labor Day is gone: The Halloween/autumn edition of the Magic Hat seasonal 12-pack.

For $15.49 at my neighbhorhood Food Lion in Myrtle Beach, I can purchase three #9's, three Odd Notions, three Circus Boys, and three Roxy Rolles in a single package.

And I dig the package design. I always loved the skeletons for Halloween.

Mid life

Why does it feel like I pressed the pause button when I was 17, and now I want to press "play" again?

I want to contact high school friends again. I want to listen to the music I listened to in high school again.

Maybe it's like the snow globe was shaken with the start of college, and now it's all finally settled again.

Maybe. Fortunately for Kristi, I don't want to get a red sports car, and I don't trust many people other than her.
