boiling

Whew. I'm back. Almost two weeks of vacation, backed up to a few days' worth of the nastiest cold I've had in years, sure can slow you down. There is a new tune today, though.

This afternoon, I finally started making the beer for RileyCon. The first day of beermaking, for those of you who haven't tried it, involves a couple of hours of puttering around in the kitchen. During that time, if you're anything like me (which, oddly enough, I am), you find it difficult to step away from the precious boiling mass o' stuff. So, you sit in the kitchen, do email on the wireless, and listen to music. We'll see if a little of the Pogues seeped into the mix.
