morning! Natter double digits, hooray.

I drank 3 very excellent beers last night to celebrate the finishing of the Paper From Hell: Sixpoint Righteous Ale, Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye, (scroll to the 4th beer down), and Thomas Hooker Liberator

Man, I cannot HTML this week, it took me an age to get all that posted. What is wrong with me?

In my research to providing the links for any interested Beeristas, I discovered that the Bear Republic rye was 7.5% ABV (pretty hearty, IMHO) and the Thomas Hooker Liberator is 8.0% (which I expected, as it was served in a cute little 10.5 oz. glass.) But the Sixpoint is a very macho 8.5% ABV, and they served that in pint glasses! Crazy.

We're expecting 75F and sunny around here. If NC was like this all summer, I'd never think of leaving.

Yeah, this time of year needs to be bottled. Not to be sold, but to be hoarded against a few months from now.

It's 72F now with a range of 70-79 forecast for the next 24. We have had rain the last couple days. Maybe today too. This is a beautiful and wonderful thing. I don't know how long it has been, but we were very dry with fires popping up here and there. Rain good.

I'm working from home today. We normally only have 4 in the office, but 2 are out of town and the other has some tough coding to do and needed to work in his padded cell at home to concentrate. So I'm at home too. Phones forwarded to me. I worked at home for years. It'll be good to be able to do laundry and work at the same time.

Season four of Newsradio to be released June 20.

Bon, what would I do without you!? Also still eagerly anticipating the May release of Dr. Katz.

Also, I had a dream I met shrift last night. She was all... Jasmine like... with the calm and the love and the peaceful inner beauty.

It is gorgeous here as well. Yay!

Morning. I have toget to golf today. Luckily it's a pretty day, decent weather, and I've been well-caffeinated. None of this, of course, is conducive to me actually hitting the ball.

It's been raining pretty consistenly here. But in a way that's much better than last year, where it all dumped in a short time and mud slid and roads were blocked and rocks fell and houses capsized.

Still, it's tedious. I would like it to at least be more often like the weekend, which was low 70s and very sunny.

And then the heat can begin. I'm ready. I have the short-sleeved tops to prove it.

Ariel Sharon declared permanently incapacitated.

I took golf in high school phy ed. I sucked. Never developed a consistent swing....

We're supposed to have a high of 72, mostly cloudy. But it's sunny now. Today I went to work without a jacket.

I'm watching Justin Chambers on yesterday's Ellen, and he seems like a really nice guy -- really appreciative of the steady work and the success of the show. Of course, he's extra glad for the paycheck, what with the FIVE KIDS.

Tom, 7:30?!?! That is not right, in ways that are completely wrong.

Happy to report that I picked-up my dry-cleaning, had breakfast before I left home, put the trash out, and got to work 15 minutes early.

The rest of the day should follow this pattern.
