Wax on, wax off

There is an Asian Proverb that reads something like this, "He that does not reflect is a ruined man."

I used to think that kids were incredibly indecisive, not entirely sure what they want or don't want, where or when they want to go somewhere/do something or not go somewhere/do something.  In the end, at least with my kids, they end up enjoying immensely what they originally didn't want to do.

I've since reassessed my way of thinking and have determined that adults are just as bad, if not worse than kids in this way of thinking.  Now, I'm quite certain that there are those that don't waiver, they stick to a plan, a schedule and nothing short of nuclear holocaust can change that plan, but, be serious.  How often and how easy is it to back out of something?  Why is that?

Enter again the Asian Proverb.  Maybe, just maybe, you don't reflect often enough to know what you want.  Now, with that being said, that train of thought can go too far.  Secluding yourself to the point of becoming a hermit is just as unhealthy.  That's my reflection for the day.

With that being said, I pulled a beer out of the back of my fridge, I guess you could say it's been secluded.  It's not necessarily a beer you would consider cellaring, and truth be told, I didn't.  I forgot about it in the fridge.  Time, however, was on my side.  My 2007 bottle of Elysian Brewing Company's, Perseus Porter was not a ruined man.

I'm going to continue in reflection over this rich, dark, creamy porter.  No surprise it was an award winner!

Cheers
