I have to disagree with the comment about the cheese curds. I will pay a premium for fried cheese. I went to a Greek r restaurant where the lit cheese on fire at the table. You can not put a price on something like that.
KCMO is the land of micro breweries. You wouldn't think so but yep, we're the sister city to Seattle. Well, not actually, but seems like it. You can spend all day going from one to another and never hit the same one twice. Myself? I don't like beer. More importantly, I do not like the smell of hops. It's all tangled up in my weird childhood, but I'm more of a fruity drinker when I drink. Right now it's "Jamaican me happy" wine coolers. I allow myself one. I could drink all 4 and never get even tipsy but those suckers are expensive so one. When I go out it's Cosmopolitans. With a side of cranberry juice because I like to stretch them out and they make them too damn strong. Had two for my birthday in Boulder and sis said I flirted with all the valet guys. And sung. A lot.
Last summer, while on vacation, we spent a night in a cute little town on the Oregon coast. The only places to eat were pubs. Not one of these places was part of a chain. The people inside were friendly and the food was some of the best on our trip. The drinks were not overpriced either. The fried cheese curds were worth every penny and the Irish stew to die for.
Hilarious! The Ennui personification in the waiter was so vivid! And I think this is the only place where I’ve ever seen anyone characterize the frigate known as the minivan as a “majestic” vehicle!
I feel like I’m reading a confessional sometimes - though a ROFL kind of confessional. Maybe James puts these newsletters out so that he doesn’t make the priest splutter in the confessional booth 😃
Are you ok? If you are than I must not be because I am still waiting for the point of this one LOL Sorry happens sometimes . Probably because, as a 20+ yrs sober drunk, I seriously can not imagine being a designated driver as often as you do. LOL

I will concede the point. If anything it's worth extra, it's cheese.
Loved this newsletter:)

You are not wrong to dislike hops. It shows your taste buds work. I assume everyone who says they love hoppy beers is lying.

Sounds like Oregon is the place to be. I think they started the while microbrewery movement.

Thanks for the comedic writing!
"You pay a premium for the lack of stigma." is a great line! BTW, I think you meant rappel...

It's fun being the driver. Nobody can veto me because I'm the only one with keys.
