Brewing a clone of Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin this afternoon. I'll add chips of grapefruit peel in a couple weeks when I add the dry hops. I've never tried brewing anything with fruit additives before, so I'm curious to see how it comes out. I haven't cracked one yet, but my beer of choice for brew day is Stone Enjoy By 10-31-17.

Bengals are about to get destroyed today and I'm sad.

I've been told that some people enjoy having their feet tickled by a stranger. In fact, that might be why the feet are on the armrest: it's a subtle invitation that doesn't risk an explicit rejection. Be careful.

so that leads me to wonder ... will European breakaway politics (Brexit, Cataluna, etc) perhaps spread to a certain island in Greece? those in favor of retaining the status quo could employ that slogan as they conduct some tactful negative campaigning — dis-Creet con-Crete position arguments
Do creatures come from Crete?With laser treatments, of course.

The idiot in the PreCheck lane this morning would be me. On my flight in to BWI ~2 weeks ago I took an unopened mini-Dasani with me and zipped it into the side pocket of my backpack, where I then forgot about it until this morning when my bag got pulled for a bag check 
I also tripped the random secondary, said I wanted to opt out of the imaging, and got the most perfunctory pat-down I've ever had -- TSA agent just swiped my groinal area with the back of his hands (standing right there in the line) and that was it. Even with the "pat-down" I would have made it through faster than my bags were screened, except for the bottle of water above.
Sitting in the PP shoebox lounge (which is surprisingly uncrowded today). Had planned on staying here and #teamboardlast on the CRJ but might go out wandering to see where DL8965 is boarding from and gauge what's going on.
EDIT: meant to add, BWI-JFK-SFO today with a near-4hr layover, if anyone wants to meet up...
EDIT #2: hooray, I got the "upgrade"
GA called me up to ask if I really wanted it (she agreed that it's humorous ). 1C was available, so sure, I'll take infinite legroom for one leg.

I have had the least amount scored against me by a huge margin.
I am the cooler of the fantasy football world!
