I was hanging out with French tonight, and yes we were having a beer. He seemed distracted. I asked him what was up, but kept saying "no" to every question I asked him.
Women? Money? Job Situation? His Parents?... Just "no".
I shut my mouth (a huge accomplishment for me). We were just silent, sipping beers and looking at the trees.
Finally he spoke up: "beers". He continued: "I owe a lot a people a beer, or beers". French felt that he really needed to get on it and pay his beer debts. I guess he had promised beers to various people, or felt he had to repay them in some way.
French pulled out a moleskin pad, and started to make a list. He went on for a while just listing names.
He looked up from his work and said: "Do I owe you a beer?"
"No man we're good."

pretty cool to remember those we owe a beer to...and forgive those that might owe us one as well...smiles...
Nice one!
owe no man anything but love... and beer.
Ha! Love the relationship. Love the awareness.
I know how he feels. I sometimes feel like I have a running list of people I want to pay back in some way for all they've done. I'm sure he felt relieved to be pardoned by you :)
