It’s Saturday and David and I are ready to relax for a while as we catch up on the week that is ending. While we’re at it, we’ll try to handle Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt:
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘key.’ Use it as a noun, a verb, or use it metaphorically. Have fun!”
If we were having a beer, we’d have a lot to talk about.
“Welcome back, Dan, your just in time to open a tab.”
“Didn’t I pay the last time?”
“Yes, but I paid last week.”
“I wasn’t here last week. I was in Pittsburgh.”
“Still, it was my week to pay, and I did. Consistency is the key to this relationship.”
“Fine. Cheryl, I’ll take the tab today.”
“OK, Dan. You want a Corona, or a Naughty Nurse Amber?”
“Do you have Brooklyn Lager?”
“Nope. We still can’t get that.”
“Damn, they had that at a bar in Pittsburgh and I was reminded of how much I like it.”
“Is that all you drank while down there?”
“No, I also had Yuengling and Labatt’s”
“We have Yuengling, in bottles.”
“OK, I’ll have one of those, and set David up with a John Howell’s Special.”
“Dan, I’m amazed by this change in beer choices. I guess consistency isn’t the key after all.”
“It is, David. Those are all lagers.”
“Does appreciation of lagers run in your family, or was your brother drinking something else?”
“He drinks a broader selection than I do. I took him some Coffee House Porter from Berkshire Brewing. He also had some Brooklyn Lager and we both had a few Mike’s Hard Lemonades.”
“Here you go guys. Are you going to want any food today?”
“Not today, Cheryl. I’m meeting my daughter in Hartford for a ball game.”
“Cool. It sounds like you ate well in Pittsburgh. I’m assuming you were washing down some good food with those beers.”
“I had the Yuengling at PNC Park, along with some nachos, but outside of the stadiums, we ate well.”
“PNC Park? So, did you see my Red Sox win, or did you go on Thursday?”
“We were there on Tuesday, David. The Pirates lost, five to three.”
“Were you also able to see the Steelers play?”
“We were. The sports schedule was the key to the timing of this trip. We wanted to see both teams play.”
“But the Steelers must have been playing a preseason game, right?”
“Yes, but that’s what we wanted to see. We wanted to see all three quarterback candidates.”
“Did you?”
“Yep. Mitch Trubiski started, then Mason Rudolph played, and Kenny Pickett ended the game – throwing the winning touchdown with three seconds remaining, I might add.”
“I take it you favor Pickett.”
“I liked him at Pitt the five years he played there, but I’d be happy if Trubisky got the nod. As long as Kenny gets the number two slot.”
“Well, it sounds like you had fun.”
“We did. Cheryl, I have to split. Give the old man another round and cash us out.”
“OK.”
“Enjoy the game Dan. You going to see the Yardgoats”
“Actually, Los Chivos de Hartford.”
“Let me guess, Roberto Clemente night at Dunkin Donut’s Park.”
“Correct.”
“Um, Dan?”
“Yeah, Cheryl.”
“I need a credit card. You gave me the room key from your hotel.”
“Ooops.”
