I picked up a bottle of Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier to share during tomorrow's tasting. It gets a good review here:

To compare the relative merits of some Weissbiers I organised a blind tasting with Bob Thompson, a big Weissbier fan. We sampled nine beers without knowing which was which, giving them marks out of ten for nose, taste and finish. Our clear favourite was Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier (score: 9, 9, 8.5), which had a rich, banana-clove, toffee-butter nose and and was a gorgeous, juicy rich mouthful of spicy banana, with a very spicy, dry finish in which the clove flavour was even more prominent. Superb! The standard to which Weissbiers should aspire.

Sounds great, Bob. Don't let TNT know as he'll want the first pouring, the last sample and everything in-between, knowing his fondness for German beers.

My brother and his wife decided that it's too cold to sit out at Wally Wade to watch football tomorrow night. My mom decided that it was too cold for her to go to the game, too. Jon and I made the decision to try to stay as healthy as possible over the next two weeks, so we're not going to sit outside during the game in the cold night air tomorrow.
Therefore, our attendance is down to 0.
I'll look for all of you on TV! Have fun!

Tomorrow night will not be near as cold as it was tonight at the JK game. It was 30 degrees. JK won their 4th game of the play offs, 22 to 14.
Max's long snaps were perfect
There are 6 games, total. The next game will be tougher. We play Wallace Rosehill. The only game we lost this year was to then. Go JK!
