    I hope you guys know how much I love you. I found my dream house, and I don't have the downpayment. The bonus check I'm using to go to Chicago would be like 1/5 of my downpayment.

    So...I'm choosing you guys and the vow I made over my eternal happiness. Someone better buy me a goddamn beer.

    I wish I could make it, but seeing as how I'll probably be jobless in the next two months, the trip is a luxury I can't afford. So unless I get a new job or something miraculous happens where I am, I gotta bow out.

    Man, MM, that sucks. I'm sorry.

    I'm still ... iffy. It seems more and more like I will be an out, as opposed to an in. Which sucks, but such is life.

    I can hit the original brew pub with a rock from my apartment.

    They have some awesome brews on tap that are not available at retail. Had a couple on Thursday. One was brewed with blood orange and their weekly "farmers market" brew had rhubarb. (Shut up YKBFKM, they were good.)

    They also offer brewery tours every Saturday and Sunday:

    And, if someone's really up for a career change, the Siebel Institute -- a premier brewing school -- is just across the street from Goosie Island and they use the brewery as a kind of lab:

    Unfortunately, Dr. J and I are going to sit this one out. If it was closer we'd be able to swing it, but the travel costs are just too high. Hopefully the Buffalo outing is still a go.

    I'd like to formally second Cincinnati's being nominated for future consideration.

    Looks like I'm out.....Family reunion that weekend (Reunion also kept me from meeting when we talked about Cleveland a few years ago.) Have fun, gang.

    Stumbled upon this picture while transferring some files from my external hard drive to my new laptop today.

    I think it's a sign.
