Last night, started case analysis around 8, went to bed at 11. Woke up this morning at 3:30, worked on analysis and finished up by 7:15. Turning it in, in the next 20 minutes.

Happy birthdays folks .

You da man, Dan. Happy birthday!

I'm a little late but happy bday Al, hope you had a great day.

cool find Alex, I'll have to bookmark this for later use.

Happy birthday friend, go out and order a great meal rather than making a great meal for yourself.

Half a century of greatness, eh Steve? Have an awesome bday friend.

Yes.

Holy shit, no way. I gotta make a late-night chips-a-fucking-hoy-get-in-my-mother-fucking-belly run. Thanks Scott.

Thanks everyone. Interview was very "meh" and much more of a screening than anything else. HR rep had no energy or motivation, which annoyed me. Exam went far better than expected considering I spent all my time this morning preparing for the "interview".

Phone interview with Sonoma Partners @ 11:30. Economics test @ 2:00.

Mikkeler is pretty available here in IL, especially in Chicago. I've passed on Black Hole a few times and passed on Beer Geek Brunch Weasel this past weekend; the latter will not be passed up again. Yeah I'd love to get ahold of any 50/50 at this point - they all sound rather terrific. Unfortunately from my recent beer studying I've noted that the Pappy version is all but completely extinct at this point and when it does show up for trade or for sale on ebay it generates ridiculous offers (like far into the $$$'s). The brewer behind the 50/50 stuff recently commented on Beer Advocate that the Pappy version was beyond a doubt the finest barrel-aged brew he'd ever done and that it's very unlikely he'll be able to replicate the recipe. Pappy barrels are apparently a pain in the ass to come by. :/ Edit - let me know if you are ever in need of more Mikkeler stuff Al.

That came out of nowhere, congrats Indra! (and Steve for making the sale)

This is some baller shit right here, Al. How was it? Oh, and Shelly I'll take that monitor off your hands if you don't want to go through the hassle of cleaning said screen.

What the fuck... use some written communication skills, for starters.

Happy birthday Jeff!

This weekend - beer. The Bruery Rugbrød, Stone Arrogant Bastard, Founders Imperial Stout, and Goose Island Pepe Nero.

The pug does not look content, John. Classes cancelled again for tomorrow. 2 1/2 days of cancelled school = super woot.

Holy shit Mike. Hope it survived.

Yummy. Classes cancelled at noon today.

Mike, how is the barrel-aged?

Victory Hop Devil. Eh, it's alright. I'm so spoiled by Dreadnaught on tap.

Victory Storm King Imperial Stout. Love it. Wish I had more than one.

Founders Centennial IPA followed by Two Brothers Domaine Dupage followed by numerous bottles of Miller High Life for beer pong (holla at your college boy) followed by Sierra Nevada Hoptimum. Surprisingly not too out of it.

Jesus. That peroxide bath made me cringe. Sorry Nate. I get to see my girlfriend for the first time in a few weeks this afternoon, so that's cool. Otherwise, pretty bland day.
