Having watched the Academy Awards for many years, this gray-haired observer of countless Oscar presentations feels qualified to say, after watching the 2010 show... Bring back the vibe of the good old days: wilder, crazier, less structured, more unpredictable. Somehow...

Between various homebrew projects and Oakshire’s O’Dark:30 release, this is going to be a pretty busy beer week for me. I’ll be getting started tomorrow evening when I help Jesse bottle the Pale Ale he brewed a couple weeks ago. Time permitting, we may also be tossing a batch of Apfelwein into his ferme

We got [...]
Borrowing a line from a friend, this broccoli has an excellent supply of vitamin purple, or at least I think it's purple. This broccoli has overwintered rather magnificently and goes to demonstrate that broccoli plants are perennials and that if you don't rip them out of the ground, they'll just keep going.
Tarver and I just finished watching the Academy Awards. Both of us commented on what a great show we thought it was. We made it through the whole thing, and during the giving of the last award I was actually sad it had come to an end. Here are my thoughts and highlights: I am thrilled [...]

Saturday was a beautiful day, perfect for a hike out Cape Lookout at the Oregon coast. We were told by other hikers out at the tip of the Cape that we just missed seeing a whale calf swim by near the rocks below. ...but then this bald eagle flew by, not bothered by the 30 or so people watching as it sailed close by.
