Here’s a Heart of Darkness Stout to my grandson’s third birthday, another one I have to miss.  It seemed appropriate for this dark, rainy last day of November.

Outside, sirens have been blaring for weeks, building up to the dark time that is the holidays in a place like this.  It’s like one big chase scene out there.

Out in the wider world, our depraved “leaders” are trying to plunge our country into the deepest Heart of Darkness yet.  The news is too unbearable to watch anymore.

Still, it looks like our exit strategy is moving right along, as long as we don’t get screwed too badly by trump, so there’s something else to drink to.
