"I've reached that age when..."

Last time I dressed up for a funeral, everyone thought I was the preacher. So I will be business casual going forward.

Do people still order pitchers of beer anymore? That used to be the rule, rather than the exception, at pizza places, bowling alleys, bars when they were still legit bars. I probably haven't gotten one myself in 20 years.
I think it was a right of pashage to go into Pizza Hut and get a pitcher of beer.

My favorite bar in 2000 sold $5 pitchers of domestic Hefeweizen, but you had to take two glashes because of either some law or house rules. That was a long time ago.

I've reached the age when I love being home by 8:30 on a Saturday night.

My last funeral was the sister's family. I spoke and yes I was in a suit. About to lose an aunt to cancer in the coming months. I'll be in a suit.

I've worked state championships in football in 2020 and 2022 and I arrived in a suit.

When my crew comes in for a football game, we always go to Shakespeare s and order pitchers. And pizza, of course. My children''s mom and I drank pitchers when dating, but that was nearly 20 years ago.

Beer pitchers made economic sense when nobody expected it to be more than amber-colored tap water that might have once touched a hop.

It is on the opposite end of Birmingham and it is in a strip mall instead of under a red roof, but I have located a sit-down Pizza Hut in the wild. Someday I will make it over and kill another idol.

I have seen a couple of them still operating here in central Washington.

Need to stop in one of them just to see if they still have the tabletop Ms. Pac-Man game.

We stayed at a cabin in Pigeon Forge over Christmas about three years ago. It had a tabletop Ms. Pac-Man (and a pool table).

I've reached the age when... I'm way too happy when there are new Sunday night episodes of "The Food That Built America" on the History Channel.

We have three standalone Pizza Huts in our SoCal community. Haven't been in any of them in ages. So many better pizza options.

Excellent question.

My kids — and several of my coworkers — are in their 20s, and in the few times I go out to bars with them, they usually order either a cocktail or a craft-brewed beer, whether it's in a bottle/can or on tap. If it's the latter, they always order a pint, not a pitcher.

Yeah, I blame cartoonishly long beer lists for the demise of pitchers. One guy's getting the stout, another guy the blonde ale, another the fruity thing and ... where the hell did we go wrong? A pitcher of Miller Whatever used to be just fine. I'm bringing this up on my next golf trip with the guys and shaming anyone who still orders a beer with four or more words.
