Just got back from a "Couples Enrichment Meeting" hosted by my wife's Le Leche (sp???) League group.

I don't know if I feel enriched or anything but I brought a couple bottles of barley wine and imperial stout so I'm feelin pretty good right now.

High alcohol beer makes any meeting fun. Yay for high alcohol beer!

95 days till Merlefest!! Not that I'm counting or anything.

I do love me some bluegrass.

This turned out to be quite a nice week for me. Saw a couple awesome shows in NYC over New Years and signed the purchase agreement on our house in Indy today!!

I'm so happy to get out of that house.. Paying for an apartment, mortgage, and going from a 2-income household to 1 was really tough but things are looking up.

Went to a...

Words of advice.

Never, EVER spend more than 2 days with your in-laws. Today is day 3 of 6 and I don't see how I can make it through the week without flipping out.

At least I have the 30th (Railroad Earth) and 31st (SCI) to look forward to.

Wish me luck.

Things are looking up!

Convinced the in-laws to watch the kid for an extra night so we could go to New Jersey on the 30th to catch Railroad Earth (hippie/bluegrass band) then off to NYC for String Cheese Incident on New Year's Eve. It's gonna be awesome.... My bestest friends from Indiana will be there so I'll get to bring in the new year with...

It can be anything you want.
Then post this in your journal.
See what people remember about you.

I was quite the busy-bee today. Woke up at 4:30AM so I could bust out a batch of mild ale before the monster woke up. Did all my brewing shit then took the lil guy to the park and we got our play on while mama did her thing (she needed a break). Grabbed some pizza then headed home to watch Finding Nemo for the...

went to Asheville, NC yesterday. Cool town, lots of hippies, freaks, punkers, and all sorts of cool weirdos. Reminded me of Boulder, Co except for the lack of snow. I dug it.


Still no hookup for bud here. Things are looking bleak.

On a brighter note I got my tickets for New Year's Eve. Gonna be another new year rung in with String Cheese. Somehow...

Brewed 11 gallons of ESB today. It's been a while since I've brewed so it was nice to bust out a batch, plus it kinda makes this place feel more like home now that I can brew.

Still no hookup here for nugs.

I'm a southerner now.... We moved to Charlotte, NC last weekend and are finally getting settled into the new place. I could go into all sorts of boring details of the journey but I doubt anyone reads this so I'll just do the abbreviated version.

All our shit was supposed to be here Thursday but didn't get here till Monday. Stayed in hotels, some really...
