Yes, yes.  I keep breaking my promise.  I will again say that I will try to post more often and disappoint you, I’m sure.

Now that that is taken care of…

Secret Santa

Monday, December 21st, 2009

This week started off right with Secret Santa at the office. We’ve all been working really hard to clean up our newest game, (My Town.

So on Monday we started the day off with our daily meeting with about 30 minutes of it dedicated to giving out the gifts we got each other. I was given an awesome Jack Daniels tin that housed a 5th of Jack, as well as two cans of silly string! It’s been years since I’ve had silly string.

And now we leave for Chicago tomorrow! Happy holidays everyone!!

A friend of mine just told me about a new brewery in Indianapolis called, Sun King Brewery. This got me thinking about doing beer reviews.

My friend Lee has a site, passmeabeer.com, that Debbie and I talked Bout doing a weekly video review of micro brews for. Guess maybe it’s time to get a move on!

Got any ideas on where to start?

Happy Holidays!

Had a great Thanksgiving with the family.  Debbie and I drove up to see my parents on Thursday morning and had the pleasure of seeing my California relatives!  We ate way too much food, but that’s what it’s all about right?  Good food, spending time with family and watching some football.

In the early afternoon on Thursday Debbie, Katie, Jenni, and I sat down to play some Shang Hai Rummy with help from my Mom.  I love playing the game, but I can’t ever for the life of me remember the rules right away… I have to play a few hands before it all comes back. (more…)

Getting back into the swing of things.

I know, I know. It’s been far too long. Life has been quite busy over the last few months. So a quick recap:

Debbie’s parents, Gene and Gayle, came to visit for a bit which led us up to the Grand Canyon (pictures will soon be on the Flickr feed.) We all had a blast. Debbie and I decided that we’d really like to see the canyon from the bottom, possibly camping for several days trekking along making it all worthwhile. Since it is about 20 degrees down there now, I’d say we’re probably going to wait a few more months to do that. (more…)
