Food and Drink
The Drinking Eudemon
When I'm staring at a dry weekend, it's hard to do the Brews You Can Use, but
that's not the case today. A brutal week at the office gives way to a light
weekend. I have to work a little bit today and a
The Friday Eudemon
It's the feast day of the patron saint of people against pornography: St. Maria
Goretti [http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=78]. A good-looking
twelve-year-old, she was attacked by a man whose imagination had been inflamed
by looking at the (compared to today's

My time away from a computer continues. Only two quick BYCUs today:

Nothing but drinking posts. Which fits my plans for the next couple of days:

Ignorance, Tigers, and Brews You Can Use
I watched one of the scariest TV programs ever last night: Are You Smarter Than
a 5th Grader [http://fox.com/areyousmarter/]? The level of ignorance in our
country is astounding (but see my speculation below). Last night featured a high
school history teacher, a "rocket scientist," and
Memorial Day Weekend Drinking Edition
Did I say I was taking a vacation day? Fat chance. I'm heading into the office
again this morning. Another rush job. This one is for a friend who is moving
back to town, so I don't mind much, but I also have another project that

Not much ordinary blogging today.
Pre-Inkling, Inkling, and Beer
Ah, the weekend is here. After a long week of 10+ hour days, I'm taking today
off. I often work part of Fridays out of my home (courtesy of PC Anywhere), but
I'm not even doing that today. I'm just walking to Mass, taking
