Gosh, I can't remember the last time I
made an entry into my blog... it has been months, more than 6 months,
maybe a year. Writing to me is such a mixed blessing, at times I get
an inspiration and put pen easily to paper but most often I really struggle to accomplish the process. Anyway I have decided that I
am going to try to write something every day for as long as I can,
hopefully 30 days, an exercise in discipline.
Mark and Mike came over yesterday.
Mike had not seen the house but had heard much from Mark. Mike was
particularly fascinated with the koi pond and we spend 20 minutes
watching the fish swim lazily around the pond. After we toured the
house and the garage/shop we settled on the deck, it was a bit windy
but mostly sunny and in the mid 60s so it was pleasant having
multiple layers and nice to be outside anyway. Mark brought a new
beer that I had not tasted previously, Founder's Brewery, Dirty
Bastard, a scotch ale, 8.5% alcohol and 50 IBU. By the IBU
measurement it would appear to be a bit hoppy but that was not the
case, it was very well balanced and pleasing to the palate. I hope
to find this beer on the shelf staring at me... I will go home with a
six pack.
I hadn't seen Mike for years so it was
good catching up again. Thanks Mark and Mike for coming over and
hanging out, it cheered me up a lot.
