With just six days to go until CNY Brewfest 2007 at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, the 11th annual, and preparations are being made – meaning that I have booked the hotel and have business cards being printed. Business cards? Me, too – I have no idea why. Anyway, I am going to post more … Continue reading “CNY Brewfest 2007 Update”
Like you, I measure out the days in Friday chats now. If I can just make it to Friday chat without emptying another jar of ginger marmalade, I say to my self, I will be OK. The first group project is going well. I think this one is a high level starter discussion. Next I … Continue reading “Friday The First Chat Of 2007”
In my never ending drive to mix insipid views of world affairs with solid reporting of what I get to see on my TV set, it is a particularly big day – even if the sun is not up yet as I am likely late for work – when there is a report in the … Continue reading “Big East Basketball”
It was going so well at about nine minutes into the game. I had just secured a source of Unibroue’s Maudite that I can keep to myself and, like many of you, was heading into Loblaws with the hope of finding a morsel of whisky cheddar when I heard on the radio that Syracuse was … Continue reading “Week Seven With Brendan Carney”
We had a bit of a beer blog break through as Gary and I met at Middle Ages Brewing in Syracuse NY as part of his day of two tailgates and my introduction to NCAA football. It was a perfect place to meet to start the day. Gary filled in when my camera’s memory card … Continue reading “Middle Ages Brewing By Shoe Cam”
OK, I have to admit I missed the game on TV as I was at the concert. And then I never got around to figuring out how Brendan did in the 34-14 win over Miami of Ohio. Our man does not appear in any of the reports I can find even though his performance was … Continue reading “Week Four With Brendan Carney”
A run to Ottawa to see the Billy Bragg show on Saturday meant the opportunity to do a Sunday morning run to one of the better shops in Western Quebec for craft beer, Marché Jovi in Gatineau, Quebec. The shop is handy for anyone near Ottawa’s Island Park Drive and the bridge to the other … Continue reading “Beer Shop: Marché Jovi, Gatineau, Quebec”
What a week – a blur. I swear I was 27 when it started and now I have kids and a mortgage. Thing I learned? Buying gifts for a kids party was easier when they were two. You can buy an old shoe and stick some red masking tape on it and a two-year old … Continue reading “The Day of Fri Is When There Is Chat”
A bit of good luck yesterday with the Syracuse v. Iowa game as it was shown from the Carrier Dome on ABC. In the end Syracuse lost 20 to 13 but did so in double overtime after Iowa made a heroic defensive stand at the end zone which, through a series of penalties, gave Syracuse … Continue reading “Week Two With Brendan Carney”
