Things that I love

Hat tip to Miles for the idea. I think it has been interesting to find out the sorts of things other people enjoy, so I'm borrowing the idea for OOLHP. (I dunno, "ool-hip?") So, here is installation #1 of TTIL.

Cheerwine.

What is the allure of Cheerwine? Well, first off, it's a non-coffee forom of caffeine for me. I don't like coffee, much as I have tried. So I have to caffeinate in other ways...Cheerwine is one of them.

It also reminds me of my childhood - when we raced bikes up and down Mitchell, Crosby, Wiley, and Stanley Streets, stayed out late in the summer, and got into trouble for the silly things we did. I used to think it was so funny the way Cheerwine turned my lips, teeth, and tongue blood red. Now it's kind of creepy, but I still loves me Cheerwine.

One other thing - it always kind of gave me a sense of regional pride when I'd go visit Yankee relatives, and order Cheerwine at a restaurant. "Sorry, we don't serve alcoholic beverages here." Heh.
