Suds and Stories - aka Beer and Fiction

Today's forecast for St. Peters: Sunny, high 51 degrees--but the temperature is half that as I write this post. Brrr.

If you're confused about the title for today's post, so am I. Maybe my brain is overloaded after taking the kids and their friends to Incredible Pizza yesterday and an almost full house at critique group last night. Lots of interesting stimulation on both accounts.

Anyway, the two titles I'm debating between are: "Suds and Stories" or "Beer and Fiction."

So, after you read today's post, vote on which title you prefer. If no one voices an opinion, each time I check back I'll hum "Is There Anybody Out There?" from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album (Album? Boy, am I dating myself here).

Here's the contest announcement:

Addition to original post: The votes are in. SUDS AND STORIES inched out my personal favorite, Beer and Fiction (which also got Tricia G's vote). Thanks to everyone who e-mailed or posted their choice.
