I’ll admit I planned this shot. Or rather, I’d been thinking about it for a while. I even considered the copy to accompany it. I planned this, and I planned not to drink for a month.
I had some other plans, too. Most of which are partially forgotten. Evaporated. While others still percolate at a gentle simmer.
Serendipitously, my weekly planner came in the mail the day before I headed up to Maine. The trip was planned mostly around this moment.
I plan to keep sending people beer, though it’s something I had never planned on previously.
As for Allagash, I practiced the order in my head, but it didn’t go as planned.
