The Glass Jug Beer Lab - RTP

Keenan Jenkins of XOXOK crafts atmospheric soul music that is inspired by both old-school R&amp;B (think What’s Going On-era Marvin Gaye) and more modern artists who have expanded the genre (like Maxwell, Moses Sumney, Solange). Behind him, TJ Richardson (bass) and Joe MacPhail (drums) pull the audience into a deep groove while Gabriel Reynolds (keyboards) floats a pillowy keyscape. Jenkins' original songs have been called “nimble, sweet, yet totally epic" by INDY Week so drop by on a summer's night to see XOXOK live in the beer garden! They'll be delivering their trademark soulful performance from 6-8pm out back, and food truck The Tasty Turkeyque will be serving up delicious dishes from 5pm to 8pm. See you then! View on Facebook.

On Saturday July 11th from 3-7pm we're hosting a special Tap Spotlight of this Virginia Beach brewery with a distinct Key West feel. Founded in 2015, Commonwealth is known for creating a huge array of creative, delicious beers in all styles in their historic former fire station turned brewery on the coast. We'll be featuring 4+ taps of Key West-inspired beers and a hard seltzer. Come taste Hemingway, their tasty key lime gose, an ode to the legendary author and his island escape. Conditioned with pistachio and vanilla, it drinks like a slice of Key lime pie: smooth, creamy, and just sweet enough to blur the line between beer and dessert. Try Hemingway and other mouthwatering options in our "Southernmost Island Hopper Flight"! Plus grab our Glass Jug Citrus Wheat in a 20oz Mug Fill for only $6. Don't miss out on the delicious frozen Key Lime Pie Tropical Slushie too. While enjoying your cold beverage, try out the Tiki Ring Toss or show off your golf skills in the Key Lime Putting Challenge.

Today’s family challenge: “Mom fell, again”…what has been her gradual, physical and cognitive decline had not been noticed, much less anticipated. Is it safe for her to drive? Can she remember to lock the front door? What about the thermostat? Has she taken her meds today? Who can stay with her? When family pitches in, they average 20 hours per week. Solution? Senior living communities answer many important needs: •	Nutrition: 3 meals a day with no dishes to wash. •	Safety: Front door opens into the hallway of the community. Help with meds. •	Transportation: Community provides transportation to medical appointments, shopping and outings. •	Social: Familiar company at meals. A variety of activities including gardening, crafts and music. Which senior living community best fits her needs? Which senior living communities will accept her? Which senior living options are affordable? The average cost of assisted living $5,500 per month. Who pays? (Hint: not Medicare.) What happens to the house? the contents? How best may a family stay informed of her status? Having worked through my mother’s increasing needs in aging and, more recently, those of my wife’s Mom, I assist adult children who, likewise, are realizing their Mom’s capacities are declining and needs are multiplying. More specifically, I am offering to carefully align “Mom’s” individual needs with the variety of senior living options. I am a Senior Transition Specialist and I collaborate with value-based care expert, Tu Tu Cares. I have toured dozens of communities and have friends who are residents. My value-add includes guidance with needs assessment; comparing costs; timing of rate increases; what to ask/notice while touring. I can recommend specialists in powers-of-attorney, guardianship, veterans’ benefits, decluttering and move management. To defray the costs, I can even look at the suitability of expeditiously selling a family home about to be vacated. My services are complimentary.
