Another Virtual Dads Night Out.

Note: writing this recap a year-and-a-half later, trying to reconstruct the evening from admittedly sketchy notes. Providing narrative detail where I can and leaving random notes as is...

It should also be noted that it is likely that Kevin and I met via Zoom on January 28, 2021 [VDNO #5]. I have email evidence of the meeting time and who said they could, or could not, make it, but I have no written records from the meeting itself, and as the saying goes, "Pix, or it didn't happen!"





The Cloud


VDNO #4

I was eating Cheese & Crackers, a la the fare offered at McSorley's Old Ale House.

Kevin has been running a COVID (vaccination?) program at Yankees Stadium. The City was originally using the Pfizer vaccine, then they switched to Johnson & Johnson, and then back to Pfizer. Kevin was drinking a Bulleit Bourbon.

Instruction for a nut bowl: Nuts on top; Shell funnel below [?]

David Arrived at 7:45 PM. He was drinking a Duclaw (Baltimore, MD) Sour Me Unicorn Farts, one of the most unusual beers ever made. Described as a “Glittered Sour Ale,” the website notes that fruity cereal is added to the mash, as is edible mineral glitter. There’s a lot of artificial flavor & color and the beer is finished with a trio of fruits: cherries, tangerines, & limes. It clocks in at a sessionable 5.5% ABV.

David shared some sort of unicorn story: You’re in a Cabin in the Woods and a Unicorn spears you. [that’s all I got…]

Daniel dropped in for a bit to say hi, but could not stay long.

David reports that Graham is in Vermont and Zach is in Boston. David went to Chelsea Health Care for the Rapid test PCR! [His wife] Alexandra was scheduled for a test at Mt. Sinai, but they cancelled.

My first vaccination took place at the Putnam County location in Garrison. Pretty damn efficient.

David & Alexandra in Litchfield [?]
