Beer and Loathing in Boca Raton

The lady by the door of the Funky Buddha is gorgeous. A patron, but I was willing to be patronized. Alone and reading a book, she seems tormented despite her rose tinted glasses. A writer perhaps. Another day with another crowd, and I'd have given her my card.

We are served by a young lady who was hostess, bartender, waitress, and cook. The beer and food were both outstanding. I get a T-shirt as a gift from someone in my party, it being the Christmas season, and I treasure this shirt for months to come, and further months to go. I have the Maple Bacon Coffee Porter (fulfilling a life dream), So This is Christmas Mint Chocolate Stout, Bonita Applebum Apple Pie Brown, Red Dawn Ale, Missionary Lager, and Piiti Porter. All are outstanding. Everyone remarks that the Bonita smells and tastes exactly like apple pie. I like the MBCP and Mint Chocolate better still, but these are polarizing flavors (as is my lapsang souchong tea).

I switch gears from being apologetic (this trip is evidently an inconvenience to my convoy) to thankful that everyone has humored me. The experience has been better than I could've hoped for.
