184: The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy
12/10/21 • 49 min
P&C drink and review Old Rasputin, by North Coast Brewing Company, then review a short novel by Leo Tolstoy. Literary contributor Longinus joined in this podcast.
Ivan Ilyich seems like a decent man. When he's tempted to think he's not living his life the way he should, he scoffs. He does what's expected of him, and observes all the proprieties!
But when he suffers an injury that slowly and inexorably leads to his death, he suffers a terrible battle with his conscience.
This short, dark story is worth a read, and some reflection.

183: People who are addicted to drama
P&C drink and review Crowhill's Kentucky Brown Ale, then discuss people who are drawn to drama -- in their own lives, or in the lives of their significant others.
You may be addicted to drama if ...
Life is a roller coaster.
* You storm in and out of relationships. And you sabotage them.
* Drama is a bad addiction. You hate it and need it at the same time.
* You're Loud. Childish. Agressive. There's a lot of yelling and crying.
* You compliment people a lot.
* You create emotional situations that can't be solved.
* You're drawn to social media.
P&C discuss.

185: Pigweed and Crowhill go to church
The boys review Pigweed's Pale Ale, then discuss a field trip to a local Evangelical church. Longinus came along as well.
The building itself was very plain -- like an auditorium. No religious art. There was only one cross, which wasn't even in a central location.
The music was upbeat, but a little weird. The service focused on the very long sermon, which was biblical, but a bit rambling.
The boys reflect on the experience and the religious and social implications.
