And now we interrupt this program for a news bulletin. It's a boy! First reaction in Gaelic: "iontas!" And quite a healthy, bouncing one at that. So, without further delay, a salute to his health and that of the mother with a fine beer.

Guinness. I haven't had that in something like forever. They used to sell Murphy's Irish Stout for some unexplainable reason at one of the local 7-11s, but it quickly disappeared from Taitung. I would kill for another Murphy's, but I would gouge out someone's eye for a Guinness. You ever had Arrogant Bastard Ale? I miss that beer deeply. It's not my favorite heavy beer (that honor would go to Elysium's "Dragontooth"), but it's damn good. This talk of Guinness has got me guessing when I can have a decent dark beer again.
