Making the Most Out of Things According to Muhammed Ali

If I had been a garbageman, I would have picked up more trash quicker and neater than anyone else ever had. If I’d been a reporter who got the chance to spend the day with Muhammed Ali, before I came to the interview, I would have thought long and hard about Ali the other reporters who had interviewed him before me. I would have reviewed all of their stories so that I could get a different perspective.

Hope I Die on Monday

I think it was Mr. Hoke, my 11th grade English teacher, who gave me the advice that I shouldn’t die on a Friday; you’re too late to make the Friday edition of the paper, and no one will notice you’re gone once Monday rolls around.
As an example, note that today’s big story is the death of Stuart Scott, but if you dig back through your feeds, you’ll see that we also lost a country music legend in the form of Little Jimmy Dickens. While “Bird Of Paradise” is probably his best known song, I was always partial to “Old Cold Tater”

Burdick Brown @ Tibbs

At 6.4%, this is the current Tibbs lightweight, but it’s a nice beer. It’s nice and sweet with a little bit of hop bitterness to balance it out. Something in it is coming across a little sour, which makes me think something with the yeast went a little wonky, but still a nice beer.
