Acting Like a Kid

I’m guessing if you are 30+, you aren’t following @friday.beers on instagram. But if you’re over 50 like me, and your kids invite you to join them at Cisco Brewery on a Saturday afternoon because the dudes behind Friday Beers are the special guests that day (complete with DJ, dancing and plenty of swag to purchase), then you jump at the chance. The average age was indeed 23, but I quickly channeled Jill circa 1987 and felt alive, happy with not a care in the world. Madaket Mule in hand, my kids and their friends welcomed me, danced with me and even bought me more Madaket Mules. Like any good cocktail party, I struck up conversations with complete strangers/children and discussed where they went to school, and whether they too got blasted with beer from the water gun shot off from the stage. Four hours later, I returned back to the future and biked home where I transformed into Jill circa 2021. I love both decades, but I highly recommend connecting with the youthful one on occasion just because it’s so darn fun.
