Rest in peace Bear.

Greg and Ric and Jacob each made me laugh in turn. Nice work fellas. Laffs are good.

Hey, I'm drinking cat pooh!

Yeah, Matt, what's up?

Having a Manhattan with Hudson manhattan rye after sn amazing SF Jazz Collective show. Cheers all

Hurray for the early adopters!

Oh man, the Behemoth tastes just awesome!

Like? As for me... thanks again Mike Sr.!

Then it's a Broody Maly. There, I said it. So sue me. Had to come home early for a contractor meeting, so I'm having an iced coffee and seriously considering cracking open the Behemoth soon. Friday is good.

I forgot to post that I had a Racer 15 draft at City Beer last night. Citrus-hopped up Racer 5 that was fantastic. Not bottled, but damn it was good.

Mike's getting in touch with his feminine side. Is that so wrong?

Happy birthday Fitz, now go get some! Cheers!

Monkey funny!! Man, those are some bloody oranges! Nice pics Jim and great looking cocktails. I found this drink because I got some Rhubarb Bitters and was going to make a different cocktail but my daughter wanted some bitter lemon (until she tasted it, at which point she was disgusted and ran away immediately). Cynarata: 3/4 oz. Cynar 4 1/2 oz. sparkling limon soda (Rieme Sparkling Limonade or in my case Fever Tree Bitter Lemon plus some simple syrup) A dash of Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters Mix ingredients with ice in a tall glass. Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint.

Young Man Cocktail as I posted previously. Damn tasty.

Wow, this has been a hell of a day. Sorry about your father in law Driftwood. Condolences. Mike, I am really sorry to hear about Gail's mom. You have such a great family that I am sure you are doing the best that can be expected. Give our best to Gail and thanks for letting us know. I just finished out a case of something special for you and it will be on its way soon. Small comfort, but hey.

Very nice, Shelly. I am hopeful that the upcoming MBA can fill the bill for me.

Sad news indeed, Nate. Sorry.

WTF? I own some Fiskars shears, but that is a weird change of product line. I still cannot see the headphone output unless it is a mini jack on the black part in the front. Weak. My favorite bit from the design website is the following: "connects up to four speakers if headphones aren’t your thing" Excuse me, I believe you have my amplifier...

Hey! Where'd you get a picture of my love child?!

For Dr. Wood, I think no Pedo Bear would be preferable.

Have you posted up any gushing (or not) impressions since getting this thing?!

That sucks Al. Best of luck to you and your wife. My wife is a PhD and former professor who never got on the tenure track in academia because I already had a job in SF and a California bar card, and we weren't willing to move to whatever schools had openings anywhere in the country. Although the PhD programs were touting that the retirement of GI Bill profs was going to cause a new wave of openings to arrive, the reality was that schools simply filled slots with part-time, one-year, non-tenure people. She decided to raise our kids instead of fucking around with the short-term jobs, etc. Eventually, she went back to school part time to get her teaching credential and now teaches high school. Once again, however, she is being subjected to the fucked up state of education because she cannot get a proper, full-time, tenure-track position and has been laid off a couple of times only to be re-hired with worse terms. The school loves her and wants her to stay so they keep figuring out ways to make it happen, but it is demoralizing on some level and simply ludicrous from a professional standpoint. If we needed her income to survive, then she would have to do something else and another great teacher would be lost.
