Note: This is what I was in the middle of writing when that pesky bomb threat thing happened. You can see that there was already something a little bizarre in the air.

Crisp Cider from Angry Orchard

Some days beg for cider. But I didn’t want any of my standbys. Luckily, my LA pub of choice added a new one to the menu: Crisp Cider from Angry Orchard.

And no, I didn’t choose this because I find the idea of an angry orchard to be intriguing. But really, why is it angry? Is it still pissed on behalf of what happens to its cherry brethren at the hands of Chekhov? Is an elk stuck in one of the trees again? Did casual Fridays get nixed for the second year in a row? What are the pressing orchard issues of the day?

I’m just saying that I’m here to listen if you need to talk, my orchard friend.
