I'm so proud of Tyler. He wears that mohawk like a BAMF.

Happy birthday Vicki!

Big game this week in HC2, Jim v. Shelly.

Sorry to hear about your friend Wayne. That was a very nice read about him though, sounds like he was a great guy even if things never quite worked out for him. Glad to hear your brother is alright Alex. I am admittedly guilty of sending short texts at times when i'm in the car. I know it's stupid and highly dangerous and I really should never do it. Hearing your news, coupled with a recent email my grandfather sent me of a guy who put a rail guard through the full length of his car while he was starting at his phone, makes me seriously want to keep my phone in my pocket. I put in my two weeks' notice at my part-time job today. It was never supposed to be permanent and I had no intention of even caring about leaving that store, yet I still feel guilty about it. On to better things.

Dinner time! Just split some Red Diamond Cab Sav 2008 with the gf and my sister, who's gonna stay with us for the next couple of days.

I noticed Pak was taking Raffy in HC1 by 6 points, then saw that Raffy still has Stafford, Forte, and Megatron going tonight. Sorry Pak. I salute you though for continuing the tradition of disappointing Brent in HC2 .

Congrats Chris!

Yay poor man's stout! Actually my old friend back home had a few extra bottles left over from cooking that he offered so I decided why the hell not? It is what it is and I like my glass.

If he's cool with Posty, he's cool with me. Whatup Icculus, welcome to HC.

Pretty easy to figure out why Pak took me by 28 this week. His starting WR's went for 42 while mine put up 5. I also made a slight mistake by keeping Beanie Wells as my second RB prior to the early games starting, and by the time I found out he was sitting out the Cards v. Ravens game I could only swap in Steven Jackson who I knew wasn't going to be productive at all (injury + Ravens D/ST = bad). I guess my only other swap then would've been Jordy Nelson and he didn't have a great day either. And I can't really complain about 27 from Aaron Rodgers, but he had 17 after the 1st quarter so it actually was a letdown that he fell back to earth in the second half.

Happy birfday Jim!

Founders Breakfast Stout #2.

That last post was my friend Dan, though I am drunk enough to mistypo that badly.

Woo moths fills 12.5% abv

Second bottle of Parabola. Fuck.

Southern Tier Pumking. Aroma is amazing, taste is just okay. I think I'll be drunk tonight.

Founders Breakfast Stout. Wow the coffee/espresso in this year's release is awesome.

Firestone Walker Parabola. Better than KBS? Quite possibly yes. Sweeter, more tannic, amazing mouthfeel.

Looks adequately-badass doug. Best of luck with the start of the venture!

Jesus Stretch, that is sick. *drools all over self*

John and I got together today for a head-case oak park meet. Went to lunch, bought beer, then came back and previewed some stuff for an upcoming tasting. Cheers guys!
