The end of holiday vacation...

Chirstmas was great this year. Everyone had a good time at our house even though Layla was feeling under the weather. :-( Brooks was especially unlucky when his train home didn't arrive on time due to a crash on the tracks - the rain was coming down pretty fierce so he decided to take a cab home to the tune of $100 and he didn't get home until 12 midnight or so. I wish he had just come back here so I could have driven him home, but he didn't. I felt bad for not waiting for him when I dropped him off so I will reimburse him for the cab fare. I got a new cell phone which is cool and a bunch of games for the computer: Jedi Academy, XIII, Max Payne, Star Trek Elite Force II and Spiderman for the PS2. Nice. Shireen got a new laptop to use at law school - but I'm sure she will let me use it too! ;-) Back to work tomorrow kiddies....

It definitely helps that they force carbonate it - I remember the homebrew back in the post-college days that had the thick layer of sediment on the bottom. One false sip and whammo! You get a wallop of nasty sludge in your mouth! Anyway, I chose the "Octoberfest-a-like" recipe which was named Mark's Marzen. The pre-brewing sample they gave me to taste was really not at all like the beer I ended up with, so I'm thinking either it was mislabled or ...
