Back to Work So this was the first week back for most of us and even if you only had a single week off that first week back can be a real killer. How can it be that a single set of five days off makes you so reluctant to do what is rather simple for most of the year. I suppose like most things in life after a while even the most painful things can be tolerated. Makes me hope that I really do not have to wait another 32 years (2 more than I have actually live total) to retire.

I was in the laundry room yesterday and lifted the keg of Saucy Winter Ale. That baby is nearly empty. Seems like it was quite a success...even if I think that I drank most of it. So now it is time for another batch...which should mean that the Bock Your Brains Out should be next. That would be perfect, except that 8 April is the annual Siciliano's Brew Party and this year there is an amauter homebrew competition and sadly a bock is not one of the catagories of competition. So I maybe I should make what I have named Hefeweizen IV and a beta release name. I do enjoy a true Bavarian wheat, but many others do not share my passion. But screw them...I come first in beer...or in this case bier.

This coming week makes for the return of first runs of most of the regular prime time TV. Make sure you catch "how i met your mother", "scrubs" (but you could also watch "house"), "lost", and "the o.c." although I will understand if you watch "my name is earl". You should probably actually do something other than watch TV but most of you are Americans.  ¶ 20:07
