We got home from NYC around 12:00 today. DukePA dropped Max off on her way home. What a fun trip. It always is. I'm hoping more of our family can come next year. As soon as I get a date for the game, I will be reserving rooms and airline tickets.

I went to a memorial service this evening for a 92 year old member of our church. She was an amazing woman - born in Western Australia, received scholarships to get her PhD in London, studied under Anna Freud, worked with children of the Holocaust, came to the States with her Welsh husband. As part of the service, Advance Australia Fair was sung to start her on her journey back to Australia.

After the service, I went out with my sister and brother-in-law for beer and french fries in memory of another church member who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. This was his favorite lunch while skiing.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a correlation between getting older and losing family, friends, and acquaintances to death. We quit buying wedding gifts and start giving to memorial funds.

To answer DD's question - We all had Samuel Adams Winter Lager and got to keep the commemorative glass. I would have it again.

Bold and rich, with a touch of holiday spice.

The first thing one notices about a Samuel Adams® Winter Lager is the deep ruby color. Then comes the magical aroma which promises something special on the tongue. The cinnamon, ginger, and hint of citrus from the orange peel blend with the roasty sweetness of the malts to deliver a warming, spicy flavor. On the palate Samuel Adams Winter Lager is rich and full bodied, robust and warming, a wonderful way to enjoy the cold evenings that come with the season.

Sounds like a wonderful evening.

Some of this oughta be in the Ymm, Beer thread.

DinK, I am sorry to hear about your friends. I love the way your celebrate their memories and send them off in style! They must be very special people, and they are fortunate to have you as their friend.

DinK, sorry to hear of the loss of your friends, but it sounds like they were both memorialized appropriately.

I think they brew a lot of Sam Adams here locally. I was a bit surprised to learn that when I got here to Cincy.

Don't worry - I posted it there, also. I have to pad my post count somehow.

Thank you all for the thoughts. They were both special people and are worth celebrating.

They sub-contract out some production to a few of the large capacity brewers quite frequently. Miller brewing in Eden does a production for them. Boston Brewing is still a small player in the market, yet the demand is more than they can handle alone. (I know some people at Miller)

The brewery here is company owned. I think they bought it when a local mid sized brewer went belly up. The big deal around here lately has been that Yuengling is now available but not if you live in Indiana.

Might make it worth is to move to Indiana.

Today I have consumed a 6 oz. box of Nerds and a 6 ox. box of Sprees.

That is a lot of sugar.

I was wired.

Today's fun with PHB: I was given a couple of small tasks to do, and I finished them both quickly. In fact, one of the tasks was actually due tomorrow. I spent the day perusing the scientific literature, doing some research on things I'm interested in. Not a bad thing.

Out of the blue, at about 3:00, PHB grabbed me and a co-worker to participate in a phone conference with a collaborator. It took a while to figure out which collaborator (a guy at UVA) and what project we were even talking about. I'm still not sure of all the specifics. PHB knew about the phone conference in advance and has been corresponding with our collaborator at UVA. Why the heck didn't he tell me in advance about this call? I was expected to come in blind and know what I was supposed to be doing on this project. Annoying as heck - and hopefully soon to be someone else's problem.

When I got home from work this evening, the Rev Lawgrad had left the TV on one of the (DirecTV) channels that plays music. It was the elevator music channel.

As I opened the door, I discovered the were having to listen to "Do That To Me One More Time."

By the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

And I wonder why Sasha the mini schnauzer has issues....

It reminded me of the first episode of "WKRP in Cincinnati," when the soon-to-be Dr. Johnny Fever is playing "You're Having My Baby" by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Music hath charms...
So, Willie rests comfortably to the soothing sounds from Dish/SiriusXM's Holiday Pops channel.

Hot dog!
I sure hope I stepped in it this morning, OY! OOoohhh...I think I did!
