OK, so I just said a couple of days ago how I never post these things, but this one was very cool as well. Thanks to Sarah for posting both of these to get me interested.

Last night (before the NHL All-Star Game) I finished reading “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy.
Stealing from Publishers Weekly found via Amazon.Com, a brief overview of the book:
Violence, in McCarthy’s post apocalyptic tour de force, has been visited worldwide in the form of a “long shear of light and then a series of low concussions” that leaves cities and forests burned, birds and fish dead, and the earth shrouded in gray clouds of ash. In this landscape, an unnamed man and his young son journey down a road to get to the sea. (The man’s wife, who gave birth to the boy after calamity...

There are a lot of things floating around the internet that you can post on your blog about what kind of person you are. I usually do the quiz, or whatever it is, but don’t post them. This last one though that I saw on Sarah’s BLOG was too funny not to post.

Nigel still sort of it. But Marcia was just too sick to watch a sick little boy that is crawling around.

Over the past month I have gotten to try a few new beers, though two were not necessarily new, but a bit different. I will explain, don’t worry.
The first three were a nice surprise. I had told Marcia on our way to Michigan for Christmas that I wanted to stop at a store close to my parents place that has a great selection of beer, this way I could get something for our holiday stay. Well, when my Mom called us to let us know about our niece Jordan’s chicken pox, she has also informed me that my Uncle Steve had dropped off some beer for me.
We had talked while in town for my Grandfather’s funeral about the Brooklyn Brewery. I had never heard of them, but saw a store that was selling pub glasses with their...
