Papa Elf and I just got back from a canal barge trip in La Belle France (celebrating our Golden Wedding.) We saw lots of gargoyles, but they were all made of stone. Nary a single gold, diamond, or other what-have-you gargoyle did we see: just stone. (Fortunately Papa Elf, who couldn't bring his sword aboard the Air France bird that gave us a ride, discovered that the consumption of lots of pinot noir and escargots in garlic chased away the gargoyles: they became paralyzed when he breathed at them!)Sorry I haven't had time to make a celebratory brew, but in a few weeks the keg of vin rouge should be ready.
