electric brewing
I think I have to buy this. It’s a hot liquor tank, it’s used for brewing beer and – this is what really blows my mind – it’s electric, which would give me the amazing super-power of being able to brew beer in my basement where the rest of my brewing equipment is, instead of… Read.

Here comes Peter Cottontail
I don’t know if it was the lamb tartar or the rabbit sausage, but something I ate last night gave me the stinkiest farts EVAR! I’ve never had anything tartar before, so if I had to guess, I’d say it was that. The rabbit sausage was so rich, though, that I wouldn’t be surprised if… Read.

an afternoon with beer
One of Madison’s own breweries, Ale Asylum, recently moved from its original location on Kinsman Blvd down the street and around the corner to a bigger, purpose-built brewing house that even The Google doesn’t know about yet* on Pankratz St, and until yesterday we were possibly the last people in town who hadn’t been there… Read.

The Fountain
If I remember rightly, and I’m not saying I do, I think The Fountain used to be a seafood place in a previous life. I’m not sure because I’ve been away from downtown Madison for quite a while now. While I worked on cap square I took a walk down State Street about once a… Read.

kulcha
We got all kindsa kulcha today. About a month ago, My Darling B asked me if I wanted to go to the opera. It’s not something she asks me very often – like, never – so I said yes. I couldn’t think of anything else to say. She caught me unprepared. But that turned out… Read.

wakey-wakey part mcmlxiv
Let’s see, how does this work? Oh, yeah: Wake up too early, make coffee, cat on my lap, type up some drivel. Mmmm, coffee. Gone back to making it drip. Still like my coffee gadgets, but drip is the way to go. That’s my official word on that. Take it to the bank. Tell ’em… Read.

alchemy
“Home?” I asked My Darling B before I put the car in drive to pull away from the curb in front of the office last night. “No. Alchemy. We’re eating out tonight,” she answered, naming our favorite after-work restaurant. It was that kind of a day for her, too, then. Read.

tea mug
The inside of the coffee mug that I use at the office as a tea mug had acquired such a rich patina that it was impossible to tell what color it had once been, so I brought it home and gave it a good going-over with a Brillo pad, which I thought would take forever… Read.

a healthy walk
I shouldn’t have eaten that last cookie. I went for a walk after dinner, because it’s, y’know, healthy. Mostly all I do is sit on my butt all day long. That’s my job. Professional butt-sitter. It doesn’t take a lot of physical activity to supervise a total of ten people, even when you throw a… Read.
