Learning

KB

I met a very interesting bloke last week. And a couple of times this week, too. A fascinating man in a number of ways. He's one of those people with a turn of phrase that brings a smile to your face, and he has an amazing knowledge of trees and woodlands as habitats. The only thing is, I think I will have to give him a wee bit of education. In one of our finest local hostelries, with one of the widest ranges of lagers and ales you will find in town, his first call was a pint of Budweiser. smiley - laugh

But he's already opened my eyes a bit. Learning is a two-way street, like so much else in life. I think I've opened his, too.

Some days, it seems as if most two-way streets around here are barely one way, due to road construction smiley - flustered.

Helping with Beer Quest, and helping with Craic Quest. (I know some people object to that spelling, but I think in the circumstances "Crack Quest" would be...ambiguous and inadvisable. smiley - laugh) Helping me "get my mojo workin'" again and forget about a few other worries at the back of my mind. smiley - wizard And he seems refreshingly uncomplicated (in the best sense of the word).

But as the title of this was all about learning, I guess I learned. smiley - laugh

Old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

Craic sounds like even more of a curse. smiley - evilgrin
