Jul. 27th, 2010 04:53 pm Life! Summer!
Both are good.
We went to the Michigan Brewer's Guild Summer Beer Festival last weekend. We went last year and had an absolute blast. This year the weather was... well, pretty terrible, actually - it was so humid and the ground was so wet it was like festivaling in a bog instead of a park - but it was at least sunny, and the beer was incredible. We tasted somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 beers in less than 5 hours, got blissfully, happpily drunk, and were able to enjoy many of our samples sitting on a dock dangling our feet in the wonderfully, refreshingly cold river. I got sunburned. I learned that I love, love, love dark beers. The darker, the better. I will be taking this knowledge to the adorable little liquor store I discovered about twenty yards from our apartment, which has apparently been there the entire time we've lived here. I'm observant like that.
Yesterday we went swimming at Jim's parent's house again. We've been over there once or twice a week all summer, and it's been heaven. It's still not quite enough for me to be getting into the shape I want to be in, which is frustrating, but I'm not quite motivated yet to do anything about that. Anyway, Jim's grandma was in town for the week, so it was nice to see her one last time before she heads home to Florida. I think we'll be taking her up on her offer to go visit her once it starts snowing here.
This weekend is CBfest, something like the sixth annual. It's basically a giant party for the members of the WoW guild I'm still in. I went last year despite not even being in the guild, and it was a blast. They're great people, some of whom drive in from some pretty far-flung states. It'll be a great time.
Work is amazing. Not much to say, but it's amazing. I love this job. SCIENCE!
Haven't been knitting a whole lot. I'm almost through a sock, but that's about it. Dunno where all my knitting mojo went! I think it's still back in 2009. Oh well; I can't really blame it. Hopefully it will catch up with me as fall approaches. Fall, after all, means fiber festivals! And fiber festivals mean road trips to New England!
