Bridesmaid No more

Our "Award Winning" (meaning Silver Medal) Oktoberfest has upgraded its hardware.  It is now sporting Gold from the 2012 Docktoberfest Octoberfest only beer competition!  Here is me accepting award on behalf of my absent brother (he was in Vegas...boohoo) with Kevin and Michelle, owners of Dry Dock Brewing and friends.

I think I need one of those hats.

Another 5 months has slipped away

It isn't for lack of things to talk about, nor a lack of desire for this topic, but I can't believe that I have let this monolog slide for nearly 1/2 year.  I heard about it from my friends...the only real people (not robots) that read or check in to this blog.

My only real excuse is that I am too busy experiencing stuff to write about it, but the real truth is that since I my little tiny Dell Mini died, I have replaced with various mobile devices that are not condusive to writing.  I now have better access to information, but at the detriment of interaction on a more detailed level....I still can't think and express in less than 140 characters.

In the last few days while I have had a few thousand experiences, realized a few important things, and took some time out of my life to ponder meaning, ultimately it was the death of a friend of a friend (someone I didn't know, and may or may not have ever met) that has chased me back to this blog.

While I am sorting them all out you all will just have to wait a little more.  Meanwhile, have another beer.

I have some interesting topics....so here's my teaser, and let me know if there is something on your mind I can pontificate about in the meantime.  I need to get back to this on a semi regular basis.
