You Know You've Spent Too Much Time on HBT When...

[Brushwood Brewing]

I had a dream last week in which I heard a phone ringing from inside the piano at my church. It was @Broken Crow calling, trying to reach @AlexKay. I tried explaining that I wasn't AlexKay, but that she must have lost her phone and I had found it. I wanted to find her to return her phone, but Broken Crow didn't believe me, so he wouldn't give me her alternate contact information. I never could convince him. I had to hold on to the phone.

Sorry!!! I actually don't have anyones phone number on here and I no longer have the hacking skills to get them. Since HBT is the whole of my social-media I thought I was on here a lot....Never thought there was such a thing as being on here too much.
I promise to try and dream that I have the contact info you want and @AlexKay gets their phone back.

Occam's razor suggests too much time drinking.

Um, ok…

I’m on a drinking hiatus, so the chances are low of me breaking into a church and leaving my phone in a piano in an episode of drunken debauchery.

People generally refer to me using he/him. Honestly, I fit the HBT demographic so closely it’s kind of sad…

@AlexKay After I typed out the post, I realized I had no reason to think you were female in real life. But you definitely were in my dream... my apologies.

Give yourself a break - he's got TWO girls' names. And let's not get into where he might be female NOT in real life.

^^That! I know 4 people named Alex, and it's 2x2 for gender. I just don't even try to assume anymore....Heck, I know women named Bill and Harry and a man named Colleen. But Damn It @Brushwood Brewing ...you made me dream last night that someone in an old GM pickup pulled up out front, carrying a load of @bracconiere 's milk-can's and stuff to drop off as mementos!

Wait, WHAT?!? Is it Dry January already? Did I fall into a drunken stupor and miss New Year's Eve? Will somebody wake me up for 2025?

My lips are sealed, except for the liquid cereal malt beverages I consume, in January of each year. It's kinda' like the Paulist monks in Bavaria in the 15th Century when they brewed a batch of Salvator. You had to fast during Lent and the festival periods in daylight hours, but a fortified high ABV beer was allowed. So I figured if it was good enough for the Brothers to drink beer and not have it count, that I could also get away with 'bending' the rules of Dry January (whatever that is) and not be struck down by a random lightning bolt.

So far, so good!
