HARD CIDER
WHEN I WAS AN UNDERGRADUATE AND LIVED IN THE DORMITORY, EVERY
FALL A GROUP OF THE FELLOWS AND MYSELF WOULD MAKE A TREK
OUT TO ONE OF THE CIDER MILLS JUST OUTSIDE THE GREATER
DETROIT AREA. IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET FRESH, UNTREATED,
NON-HOMOGENIZED CIDER BECAUSE WE INTENDED TO LET IT FERMENT,
OR "GET HARD." WE'D BRING THE CIDER BACK BY THE GALLONS
AND ADD A SMALL BOX OF RAISINS TO EACH PLASTIC GALLON JUG.
IN TWO WEEKS THAT CIDER WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CURL
YOUR HAIR. WE NEVER HID IT (IT WAS AGAINST UNIVERSITY
REGULATIONS TO HAVE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN ONE'S ROOM).
THE DORM ADVISORS SAW IT, BUT NEVER REALIZED HOW HARD IT WAS.

FARM HOUSE LEGEND
ONE NIGHT WHEN WE WERE UP NORTH WE DECIDED TO GO DRINKING, SO WE
STOPPED AT THIS OPEN CLEARING IN THE WOODS. THERE WAS A FARM
HOUSE ACROSS THE FIELD; WE COULD SEE THE LIGHT. IT WAS A LARGE
FLOOD LIGHT. WELL, AFTER A WHILE WE LOOKED AND THAT LIGHT HAD
MOVED. AT LEAST, WE THOUGHT IT DID. BUT IT COULDN'T HAVE, SO
WE DIDN'T MAKE ANYTHING OF IT. BUT LATER ON, THAT LIGHT HAD
MOVED AGAIN. WE SAT THERE AND WATCHED IT CIRCLE US UNTIL IT
WENT BACK TO WHERE IT STARTED FROM AND STOPPED. WE FIGURED WE'D
HAD ENOUGH TO DRINK AND GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE.
