Got some good heavy duty ones ready for when my wife returns! Most unusual is a Mole Stout....quite unique, shows chilis, chocolate and other spices among the stout flavors.

It's a stout, similar to Guinness, but a little sweeter.

we do a lot of tounge biting around each other. And if he wants to go watch his boys at the bar with the boys I am more that happy with it! That means I can watch my boys without having to look over at him wearing that shirt! He loves his Raiders gear.

All of my sports coaches said the same thing to my dad when he would come to practices to check up on me.

"Well, he tries hard..."
