Visiting the Bells

We spent the first half of our vacation in Milwaukee with our friends, Bryan and Ashley Bell. We enjoyed meeting their daughter, being treated to several great meals, and seeing several local Wisconsinite hangouts. At Bryan's birthday dinner, we had an interesting discussion about alcohol and the Reformation. I was able to bring Martin Luther's thoughts on beer to the table via my handy mobile internet machine.
Full Luther quote on aging:
"We old folks have to find our cushions and pillows in our tankards. Strong beer is the milk of the old."

It's funny because Bryan is old, he likes a good pilsner, and I have an unusual fascination with the Reformation.
