dmchenry99: 108 degrees today. That's just WRONG. At least it can't get much worse. Right? Right!? Dear God, right!?

I've had this at the source once, but I picked up a bomber to refresh my memory. It's a pretty decent brew. Got a strong Strawberry nose and flavor, but not in a sweet way. Very dry. Slight hoppiness too, at least for a blonde.

Mammoth Brewing IPA 395

I'm working on a 395-related project at work and so I HAD to pick this up. Very strong nose with smokiness and big forest. It reminded me of that smell you come home with after a few days camping. Flavor is overwhelmingly sweet juniper and sage. Almost completely covers the hoppiness. Nice beer, but my tastebuds were blasted after one glass.

Well I spent eight hours washing, polishing, and waxing the Honda. Listed it and it was gone in less than two days. Got the price I wanted too.

Great advice for writers

This blog is in my RSS reader and most times I just skim it. Today I went over this post with a fine tooth comb.

It is a list of questions to ask yourself about your book.

Do your characters grow? Is your writing voice too chatty or sarcastic? Is there too much description?

If you have ever written a novel or even a short story, you will recognize this is a great checklist.

Drove the Monte to work today for the first time.

dmchenry99: Here's a first: Drinking at a brewery where the live music is aimed at kids. There must be a dozen 6-yr-olds in here.
