I Suck At The Union Brew House

last night, karen had plans with my friend (jen) and my bff (kerry). the plans involved visiting kerry in salem for a "chicks night out". apparently, it was country music night at some place up by kerry... and as all three of them are country bumpkins, they planned to give the place a go.

if it were up to me, i would probably have karen partake in more ladies' nights because i think it's good for her to be out and about... enjoying herself without having to worry or think about things like the passing of our son (braden)... or even worrying about me. unfortunately, i don't organize any of these nights out.

needless to say, while karen was out, i decided to hang out with my friends (marc, kelley, and andrea). the plan: the union brew house, located in weymouth. now, i suck at the union brew house. i have not been there in about three months. (if you are to look back at my postings, it was march.) and interestingly enough, all the times i have gone... andrea has been with me. this time was no different.

marc and kelley had heard about the brew house themselves and had never gone. so, we figured last night was as good a time as any to go. plus, andrea and i still had to work on achieving our goal of completing the list of beers offered at the union brew house. for anyone curious, the union brew house has a list of 99 beers that they serve. should a patron consume all of these beers (not at one sitting of course), the patron would receive a commemorative plaque and a t-shirt. and as a side note, young's chocolate stout is pretty good.

anyway, it just so happens that while at the brew house, andrea noticed my favorite brother-in-law's (pj) cousin's (tiffany) boyfriend (darren) at one end of the outdoor area. (we were seated in the outdoor area.) at my last encounter at the brew house, andrea, pj, and i were introduced to darren by tiffany.

darren, known to patrons as "the mayor of the brew house", was doing a little shimmy and giving someone a little neck rub. at the time, the person receiving the neck rub was blocked from my view... by darren's rhythmic undulating dance moves... not that it would have mattered anyway because i did not wear my glasses to the brew house.

curious, i called pj to see if tiffany and darren were still dating. well, as it turns out, tiffany was actually there with darren. for the record, neither andrea nor i could see her... probably because we were entranced by the rhythmic undulations of darren's shimmy.

anyway, it was a rather comical moment because pj wanted me to take a picture of darren. apparently, there is some joke going around the family that they are watching darren... all the time.

needless to say, it was fun at the brew house... hanging with my friends... and running into tiffany and darren.
