Nice turnout this evening. The Patriarch was the masked man guest of honor! Pleasant surprise.
Many things are changing now with the "re-opening". As Showgirl noted, the parking lot is not barricaded any longer, and even more impressively - Itch trimmed his beard and got a haircut! I was really digging Itch's Grizzly Adams look - I've never been able to grow a beard anywhere near that long. Mucho macho!
Another pleasant surprise - Mr. Anonymous brought a bottle of Killepitsch! I gather from Itch's reaction that this was an unusual event. So, I captured it on film - pics or it didn't happen, right? Brick brought some, too.

| Mr. Anonymous brought the Pitsch btw - check out that beautiful bike in the background! |
In celebration of Mr. A's benevolence, Itch treated us to a second round, of Goldschläger
 |
| This is exactly what it looked like |
Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps, a liqueur with very thin, yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold has been measured at approximately 13 mg in a one-litre bottle. As of December 2019 this amounts to or $0.65USD on the international gold market.
Another discovery this evening...Brick is a veritable encyclopedia of "historical" (read: old) TV commercials. He was teaching me the dialog and limericks from Mr. Bubble commercials and coming up with other ad lines no one had ever heard before. A true scholar!

Magic Mike and I swam this morning at 8. the beach was deserted, the water was crystal clear, and the wind out of the North was just starting to ruffle up the water. Temperature was 48.5.
