• Up late.
  • Took our first “real” shopping trip to Costco to prepare for our party. We got a great deal on snack foods and Mexican Coke, but I don’t see it being very useful for our everyday grocery shopping needs.
  • Party time! Lots of great conversation with friends. It seems a good time was had by all, especially Mike, whom I’ve never heard laugh louder.
  • I debuted my homebrew and got some useful notes and criticism, but overall it was well-received. I have a good idea of where I can improve things next time.

  • Up early; time for work.
  • After work we were both pretty tired so we ordered in some Chinese food and relaxed around the house for a while.
  • Killed some more weeds in the back yard. We’re actually gaining ground now. It’s a bloodchlorophyllbath back there. Not pretty, but it must be done.
  • My homebrew is finally finished. It’s supposed to be a “robust porter” but I’m not so sure about the “robust”ness. It might help if I actually drank it cold.
  • Finished re-reading American Gods. Every bit as good as I remember. Still one of my favorite books of all time.
