okay, it's time to get blogalicious, but fuck, what dare I ramble about?
Life isn't all that spectacular or terrible, I s'pose. I've been brewing a bit lately; playing with some rockin' maple syrup i'm getting from a mutual friend's family plantation and setting my sights on eventually going commercial with a few select potions. So, that's new and almost exciting. Another friend just got back from a truly amazing trip to India and is all kinds of pumped up to brew cider, and I'm down for that, too. I'm also thinking of doing a trifecta and adding mead to the mix to keep shit rollin' year round. But for now, it's just the grind ...self-imposed austerity n' budgets n' shit. I hope someday I can look back on these days and feel like I more than paid my dues for whatever reasonable degree of success I aspire to achieve.
Not much to report on the dating sphere, but i think word is spreading through the ethers that I'm single and available ...the ladies they be peeking out of the woodwork, so to speak. I'm in no hurry for anything, though ...but the interest is flattering, I gotta say.
Me kiddos are cool, as usual. The middle dude is hitting that stage where hugging his parents isn't cool, but the upside is that my oldest grrl is outta that phase finally and is happy to give me big long happy-bliss hugs ...warms my heart, I tell ya. And the youngest fella, well i wouldn't be surprised if he never goes through that phase ...a total snuggle hound, that one. The holiday break with them has been a complete exercise in slack. Last week the usual time limits for electronics were suspended, and by the time they went back to their mama after four days here they all had total zombie eyes ...kinda funny were it not so scary that that is a reality for so many kids. I got them Skyrim, Portal II and Bioshock for the xbox and minecraft for my youngest. Add a stack of anime dvd's from...
