Brews You Can Use

Yikes, forgive the brevity, but I typed up a bunch of stuff . . . then the computer ate it. Unbelievable, but I didn't yell, punch the monitor, or weep, so I'm happy. A quick re-cap of what was going to be a pretty good Brew day: Looking

The Friday Eudemon

I'm having a glaucoma test today. It runs in my family, so I'm going to get the disease eventually, but it may have cropped up sooner than later. I have two of the three symptoms. My eye doctor doesn't think I have it yet,

The Thursday Eudemon

Anyone know anything about smoke alarms? The geniuses behind the model building code require smoke alarms to be "hard wired," meaning that they're tied into your electric circuitry. I think it also means that they're linked: if one goes off, they all go off.

Wright

Some good Steven Wright: All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand. I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met. OK, so what's the speed of dark? How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? Support bacteria - they&

The Holiday Eudemon

Happy holidays! Today kicks off the holiday season, at least in Michigan. Working backwards: New Years, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Opening Day. Yup: Today is opening day of deer season in Michigan. Some factories shut down; workers take vacation days; union workers take sick days; Michigan Kennedies call in drunk. It&

The Tuesday Morning Eudemon

Those crazy Wiccans: > The widows of two combat veterans sued the government Monday for not allowing Wiccan symbols on their husbands' military headstones. > The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs allows military families to choose any of 38 authorized headstone images. The list includes commonly recognized symbols

Monday Moanin' Eudemon

Another week, another struggle to get to the weekend. There's a fair amount of blogging material out there to start the week. For starters, Sir Elton speaks candidly [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,228860,00.html]: > "I think religion has always tried to turn

Something for Sunday Morning

> No sooner has [a person] started to pray than, conjured up by his inner unrest, all sorts of other things clamor for attention: a task at work, a conversation, an errand, a newspaper, a book. All these suddenly appear most important, and prayer seems a sheer waste of time.

The Weekend Eudemon

Nice, mellow morning. I slept like a log like last night, except for a few hours of Max (3) jabbing me in the ribs. When it got out of control, I went to the living couch, but discovered that Jack (10) and Michael (8) had taken all the afghans to

The Friday Eudemon

Groggy morning. The drinking club held its biggest fundraiser of the year last night. I went out early to sit on the deck, quaff a tall one, and enjoy a 68-degree day while overlooking the lake. Fortunately, I didn't stay late, but I'm still paying
