Little Bang Ira India Red Ale

In the summer heat, I longed for the cool, crisp satisfaction of a good salad.  Nothing tastes quite so good or as wholesome as lettuce straight from the garden.  Alas, lettuce is known as a cool season vegetable and as spring temperatures had begun to steadily rise, so too had my inattentiveness.  Too little water, inadequate nutrition, my leafy greens had bolted.  I am left bereft, toying at my meal, this bitter lettuce of regret.

“Droll thing life is — that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose.  The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself — that comes too late — a crop of inextinguishable regrets.”

Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
