I started in November to commemorate
my 60th birthday with what could charitably be called a series of
pub crawls. I commenced operations with a modest effort in Portsmouth, assisted
by the stalwart Favorite Son and ABFA. It was followed by a legendary effort in
my hometown with a crew too numerous to mention. Refer back to the November
posts to glean a full appreciation of the epic inroads into sobriety made that
day. It will be a day long remembered (make sure you use the appropriate Shakespearian
pronunciation of that last word). We happy few.

I mention all of this because tomorrow
the final chapter will be written with a Worcester Pub Crawl down Shrewsbury
Street. It was obviously supposed to happen much earlier but the serial
holidays and associated partying near the end of the year kept delaying
opportunities. I’ve gathered an all-star team for tomorrow’s crawl as well as
some local talent. My sister and brother in law fresh off their heroic November
performance return as well as my cousin who vows to remain awake for the entire
crawl this time. I learned today that Keene Friend was defecting and unable to
attend so there’ll be a serious lack of filter available. If I get into trouble
I’m going to blame him. If you’re going to be within crawling distance of
Worcester tomorrow and want to join in, give me a yell.
A friend recommended the Showtime
series Billions which started a couple weeks ago. I caught up on it last night
and was really impressed. Paul Giamatti, who’s incapable of doing anything bad,
in one of two leads, playing the US Attorney in New York City. The other lead
is Damian Lewis who was so good in Band of Brothers and Homeland. He plays a self-made
hedge fund billionaire. The two men are circling towards a confrontation and I
really enjoyed the first two shows. There’s a very interesting graying of right
and wrong. It’s well worth a watch if you have Showtime.
What would a blog post be without further
evidence of Californian perfection:
