Three Beautiful Things 07/31/13: Movie Talk, Beer Trip, We Were Like Garry Maddox

1.  Jeff, Michael, MB, and I met for coffee and I enjoyed or conversation about movies most of all, especially as MB and I told Jeff and Michael what we had experienced when we saw "Fruitvale Station" and "Twenty Feet from Stardom".

2.  I picked up Byrdman and went over to Terry's house, inspected the remodel that's being done to his kitchen, went on the back patio and we opened our beer evening with a Logsdon Saison, moved to a Breakside pilsner.  We then set out for the Cascade Brewing Barrel House where I had a monster sandwich that had ham and about 40 cheeses in it with a pint of Portland Ale.  We wanted to see what the BeerMongers was like, drove over, and enjoyed a pint of Ayinger Helles Lager and then we topped off our short beer trip with a pint of Deschutes Twilight Pale Ale at the West Linn Tavern.  Terry drove and was sipping club soda by the end of our beer trip. 

3.  The conversation with Byrdman and Terry was stellar.  We covered a lot of ground, much like the former fleet-footed Phillies center fielder, Garry Maddox.
