Lara O'Malley: enters with a six-pack Holy hell, what a game! You catch that touchdown throw?
grinning Catch it? I smashed through the defensive line like a damn wrecking ball!
laughs Oh, I bet you did! You always were the star of the show on the field. But hey, enough about football for now. opens a bottle of porter
chuckles Alright, alright. Let's talk about something else then. How's your garden been doing?
takes a sip of her porter Oh, you know how it is. Just trying to keep those damned weeds at bay. laughs
smirks Those weeds never quit, do they? They're like the offensive line of your garden, always blocking your every move.
takes another sip of her porter Damn right, they're a pain in the ass! But you know what? I've got a little trick up my sleeve.
leans in, intrigued Oh? What's this trick you've got?
grins mischievously Well, I've started using a special blend of herbs and spices in my garden. It's like a secret weapon against those pesky weeds.
raises an eyebrow Herbs and spices? You're pulling my leg, right? Since when did you become a gardener-alchemist?
laughs Oh, I'm not kidding! It's a special concoction I picked up on my last trip to Italy.
chuckles Italy, huh? Now that's a vacation I'd love to go on someday. What was it like there?
smiles Oh, it was incredible! The food, the wine, the scenery... it was like a dream. takes another sip of her porter
grins Sounds like you had a blast, huh? Wish I'd joined you.
nudges Sportsli playfully Oh, come on, Sportsli! You missed out on so much fun!
laughs Yeah, yeah. Next time, I'm on that boat with you. Where's the next beer, by the way?
grinning Well, lucky for you, I just happened to bring a few more beers along with me. reaches into her bag and pulls out another six-pack
cheers excitedly Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
opens a bottle and hands it to Sportsli Here you go, buddy. Enjoy! smirks Just don't let anyone else hear about your secret stash.
takes the bottle with a wink Don't worry, no one will hear a thing. Cheers!
raises her bottle Cheers to good beer and even better friends! takes a sip and smirks
clinks his bottle against hers Cheers to good beer and even better friends!
takes a swig of her beer and sighs contentedly Ah, nothing beats a cold beer on a crisp fall evening. pauses Hey, Sportsli, you ever wonder what life would be like if we hadn't gone our separate ways?
pauses, looking thoughtful Yeah, I guess. What do you think life would be like for us now?
leans back and crosses her legs Well, who knows? Maybe we would have ended up together. smirks But enough about what could have been.
smirks Yeah, enough about what could have been. Here's to what can be!
playfully nudges Sportsli Well said, my friend! Speaking of what can be, I've been thinking about trying my hand at brewing my own beer.
chuckles No shit? That sounds like a wild ride. Need any help with the brewing?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you bet I do! I've always wanted to try my hand at brewing, but I have no idea where to start.
laughs Well, I'm no expert, but I've dabbled a bit in homebrew. We could give it a shot together!
stands up and claps her hands excitedly Hell yeah, Sportsli! Let's get this brewing party started!
chuckles Alright, alright! Let's order some ingredients and get this show on the road!
grabs her phone and starts searching for a local homebrew supply store Alright, Sportsli, let's start by finding a good homebrew supply store nearby.
nods, rubbing his chin Got it. Let's see what's available around here. pulls out his phone
scrolls through the search results on her phone Okay, looks like there's a few options nearby. Let's check out reviews and see which one comes out on top.
scrolling through his phone Alright, I see a couple of highly-rated places. How about we give Hop Topia a shot?
narrows her eyes and smirks Hop Topia, huh? Sounds like a hoppy good time to me! Let's give them a call and get the ball rolling.
grins Haha, nice! Let's give 'em a ring and set up a brewing date. starts dialing the number
picks up her phone and dials the number for Hop Topia Hi, I'd like to speak to John, the head brewer.
