The Arrival of... Bijou!

Today is a grand day in the Beam household. After the crushing disappointment of the Squeaker Saga (see previous blog entry), we were blessed with an opportunity that we just couldn't pass up. An 8 week-old female boxer practically fell from the sky, and we happily caught her.

So our family of 6 is now a family of 7. Her name is Bijou, and she's awesome.

The Bleeding Edge

I make a mean bloody mary. Oh yes I do. And you know what? Yours will NEVER be as good.

So suck it, poser. Serious challenges welcomed. I will Bobby Flay your weak ass.

I love beer.

I do. I love it. Love it, love it, love it. Beer fucking rules. Hooray for beer!

The four bottles shown above are the four beers offered as "to go" items from McMenamins. They offer many other fine hand-crafted microbrews, but those must be enjoyed at one of their many fine establishments. Of the above, I like Hammerhead Ale and Terminator Stout the best. Sunflower IPA is pretty decent, but Ruby Ale is strictly for chicks and lightweights.

*Sigh* I wish I could have a beer RIGHT NOW.

Hammock Man is Back!

So after dwelling on the hammock theft for almost a week, I decided I'd just buy another one and move on. The store where Teresa bought the first hammock (Cost Plus World Market) was having a 20% off sale, so it was clearly time to take the plunge.... which I did yesterday (7/03).Ah, life is good again. I am Hammock Man... reborn!
