You went and turned beer into your job! Maybe if you branched out into cocktails and then deep fried carnival food you'd have a broader palette to write about.

Go, CJ! I'm glad no one was too badly hurt.
Sorry, Nora.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I say you upgrade that glow light to a glow cloud (all hail)
I'm down with that plan! Cecil, make it happen.
Ah, Nora. You've been going at it super hard this last few months. I think a little burnout is normal right now. It's hard to find balance, I think, when you want something so much.
So glad the injuries weren't any more serious, and major kudos to CJ and the rest of the team. A tiny silver lining in this mess, but perhaps they can use the experience when helping others - remembering what it's like to be on the other side of shock and adrenaline.
The hormone switch must have flipped back overnight, because I feel much calmer this morning. Hormones freaky.

Yikes, Suzi. I'm glad CJ wasn't hurt, and was able to keep such a level head and help others. Quick recovery~ma to the others.

Too much competition for professional cocktailing in New Orleans, Hec! Also, I am trying to improve my cholesterol numbers so sadly deep fried carnival foods are also out. Maybe I can branch out into steel-cut oatmeal, though.
I'm at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) and it is so overwhelming here. Last night my body was rejecting beer, but I was able to get over the hump. Looking forward to getting home today and drinking lots of lemonade and iced tea!
I still love beer and the people who make it, just this week it seems quite intense, especially since it's my whole professional life.
(Edit: it's a "my friendship with Abed is a giant cookie!" type of situation, for the Community watchers out there.)

Sorry you're having a tough week, Nora. I hope it improves. You and Tom went to Blue Ginger for dinner when you lived in MA, right?

Had an ARP meeting at hq today and saw 3 of the 5 boys who were in the accident. Minor bumps and bruises but great attitudes. The driver seemed to get the dose of reality for what it was. I asked him how his parents are reacting and apparently they are already shopping for a bigger truck.
Our big silent auction was Friday night and it looks like we netted $16k. Nice and only a bit below out goal.

So sorry to hear of the accident, Suzie. Glad to hear everyone is OK, and that CJ done good.
