Yahoo … RPE is home!
Kudos to Obama on an excellent (and politically astute) choice.
I do not like Giant Forest Hogs (think Rush Limbaugh).
Nor do I like the Black Mamba Snake (think … hmmm … Mitt Romney?)
RPE will have to tell the tale(s).
I DO like Safari Lager … will have to see if HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew [...]
Wow – it’s been a busy first part of the day, between working on the snow … and recovering from an afternoon/evening of beer-tasting, chiminea-watching, and hanging out. Paula LR and HollyCornblog discussed the finer points of ffootball … and we marveled at the intricacies of the game. We all reminisced about growing up years, [...]
Okay, checking out the scene here on a Thursday morning. I am (of course) in a hurry. So here are some quick updates:
HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew will be here this weekend! Hooray! Hopefully the snowstorm/rainstorm that appears to be brewing (get it?) won’t interfere.
The reviews of the new WPS uniforms have been decidedly mixed. Here are [...]
You’ll need ‘em after reading the piece that appeared in Salon yesterday – an overview and accounting of the damage wrought by Bush et al in their years in DC. It begins:
After a couple of presidential terms, mismanagement in every area of policy — foreign, domestic, even extraterrestrial — starts to add up. When George [...]
Sorry ’bout that. I’m running late and still have to scrape the ice off the car!
How have you been doing on your New Year’s Resolutions? (Nasty question, eh? A real conversation stopper.)
I’ve been doing semi-quasi. Have gotten on the stationery bike the past couple of nights, and am beginning to see the possibility of developing [...]
HollyCornblog’s home brewing skills are on display here as she deals with a very feisty (and most likely yummy) Stone Smoked Porter clone.
First … here’s her big pot in action. The spigot is open and draining the beer from the pot through a strainer into the carboy.
Then the carboy gets covered with a paper bag [...]
Having been asleep at the switch on the soccer front for awhile, I was pleased to receive a Google Alert about the USWNT’s most recent win. This one coming in Richmond, VA, where South Korea fell to the USWNT. Vic Dorr, Jr. describes the game in the Times Dispatch. Sounds like Angela Hucles continues her [...]

This clip of Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin pretty much says it all. McCain may be channeling Bush, but Sarah is pretty much the real thing … never EVER letting her ignorance stand in the way of her swagger and bellicosity.
Here’s a bit more from the interview …
Pressed about what insights into recent Russian [...]
Abby Wambach flew to Portland, Maine this past week to be present for the opening ceremonies of the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships. Here’s a link to Blog entries by the players and coaches at the tournament. And guess who was there with his team? Our own Morgan, of Final Four Fame! Good luck [...]

The peripatetic HollyCornblog and Charlie HopBrew are heading down the coast to Philly today and hope to stop at Capone’s Restaurant in Norristown … by all accounts a mecca for aficionados! They’re taking their growler (as well as their dog, ZoeyCornblog-HopBrew) so that they can snag a hefty sample of something they find particularly tasty! [...]
Well, I’ve written the title, so now I need to offer the content! First – on the “publicans” front … HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew (two of my favorite publicans … using the term loosely and in its spirits-related sense) are still in Florida. This time last week I’d have been waking to a glorious spring day [...]

Hey – it’s a beautiful morning in New York and I’m relaxing while HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew take one very nervous cat and a slightly-less-nervous dog to the vet’s. I’ve been learning all about single hop beers (amazing differences, depending on what hops you use!), and malts and yeasts and dry hopping and how you grow [...]
So, it’s time to do some catching up on the micro-brewing process underway over there in NY State.Starting on 3/16/08, HollyCornblog wrote about this picture …
The thingy on the top is the airlock. It lets carbon dioxide out, but nothing in. The one in the front that is all cloudy is very active today. That [...]
Wanna know what HollyCornblog has been up to since she left NH more than a month ago? She and her husband (CharlieHopbrew) have been very busy embarking on their new beer-brewing adventure!
Read on, as HollyCornblog herself describes what’s involved … or some part of what’s involved … in this whole beer-brewing process!
“Here is the carboy [...]
Hello, I am JordanCornblog’s sister, HollyCornblog (the one with all the good links.) I am up here in beautiful NH visiting, and having a blast. It has become a tradition during my visits to have beer tastings, but this year we decided to try chocolate tasting which was a big hit. Of course a few beers were involved [...]
My sister is visiting this weekend (YEAH!) and among other things we’ll be celebrating the second annual beer tasting fest … an activity which she pretty much initiated here last winter (and at which I made the sad discovery that some people I hold very dear actually like WHEAT BEER). I apologize if I am [...]
Okay, here it is. It’s 1/14/08 and my exercise regimen (the one I wrote about before the holidays) is almost non-existent. Meanwhile chocolate calls, blogging calls, football still calls … and with football there’s the whole beer and pretzels thing … and you get the picture.
I thought I had it licked, stepping back from “just do it” [...]
