So you don't close the door to your office, crank Rosalía's Lux and "conduct" like a madman? Lame.

Hung Fire - Hiss Golden Messenger YouTube video by Hiss Golden Messenger

My favorite Christmas song is by Hiss Golden Messenger (shocker). It's about how the world keeps grinding you and making it to year’s end and the company of family/friends is a restoration we all need.

May the holiday fill you with light and energy!

Prost, y’all: A Columbia brewery has been named as one of the 30 best in the U.S. Bierkeller, which brews German lagers in Columbia, SC, along the Congaree River, has been named one of the 30 best breweries in the US.

For me, they earn it with the Rauchbier alone. www.postandcourier.com/free-times/f...

If something other than a kickass local brewery moves into the vacant Iron Hill, I’ll … complain about it on social media.
