Beerfest in Mammoth was great fun. Met Vinnie Cilurzo for the 4th time..This time he remembered me. I'm making progress... Guerneville this weekend. It is THE festival...small, hard to get into to and so much fun for the brewers, the BBQ cookers and the guests. Most fests are fun for one or two but not all three....this...

Almost...I think it would have been a fight... ...Short version...Standing in line for coffee...nice sunday morning, not a care in the world. The slight smallish gent ahead of me is paying for his coffee in pennies. Not the nicely rolled type...loose...

The only reason to go back east is to get my things and head back west...God willing August 26th will be a one way trip home!!! Santa Monica makes me feel like Mary Poppins and I found two raw restaurants and a homeopathic pharmacy without trying...So excited, for now I just try and keep it together! Likey the story.

I love Amy. She wrote a book not too long ago. She also wrote a book with Steven Colbert a few years back. It was hilarious.
A day off... 
..And the unexpected house guest is gone... ...She is traveling south to bother her daughter for her birthday (the daughters b.d.)...Nice present eh???...I am cooking, writing (yes...that kind... ) and getting caught up on the life that was on hold...It actually didn't get too far ahead..I should have it tracked down by nightfall...With the able assistance of my Smilies Posse...

thank you for the comment on my set!!
When I Met My Muse
I glanced at her and took her glasses
off--they were still singing. They buzzed
like a locust on the coffee table and then
ceased. Her voice belled forth, and the
sunlight bent. I felt the ceiling arch, and
knew that nails up there took a new grip
on whatever they touched. "I am your own
way of looking at things,"...

Very nice.
Yes math is scary. When I see numbers my mind gets all jumbled.

Thank U so much for the HAppy B-day
Koko Taylor has died.
I know this happened several days ago but it has taken me this long to get my thoughts together. I have been a fan of hers for years. Never a fanatic but a fan nonetheless, I have several albums of hers and they always evoke memories beyond the music. I have two Koko Taylor stories that turn her music into something...

XOXOI have to get up in 3 hours so I will make this fast...Right.
Two jobs, seven days in the week, no days off until late July probably but I'm still hanging on...But that's not the problem. The problem is the burner on my kettle at the brewpub needs regular servicing due to a delicate ignition system that on good days keeps me from blowing...

Maybe it's because when your profile picture is really tiny, I imagine it's Malcolm McDowell. I don't know why, you don't look like him. So I connect him with you and then I come out thinking you'll have a British accent.

wow you are funny very detailed blog
Thanks for the comment. I know you're right. It's just annoying. But hey its sad to think someone else is living their life through mine. Sad. I didn't realize I was so interesting

I love the way you described coming off the SF Bridge at 3am...I could almost feel it, see it, smell it!!! I love that!
The silence is great and what has finally made itself clear to me is greater....it's trying to be patient and get on course that plagues me currently. You know- you finally know who that true love is in your life, GREAT- the rest of your life remains in chaos so your not ready to actually be in a relationship. Sucks- worse when you are ready....does that person think and feel the same way about you? And if so- are they ready in their life for you? (sighs)
Mostly the career and move thng is what I am consumed with. .....AND my silence spoke to both of those points and it's time to get busy!!!!
Green is great-but sanity is greater, take your road trip ...it calls for a reason!

Well, I'm glad you don't have any poetry in your life cause I don't understand poetry. I like understanding people
That is the best way to describe driving on that bridge! You really have a way with words. Ever thought of writing a book? Books I like....

I had the motivation to do this last night...Should not have put it off.. ..The Booneville festival was as good as ever, rain and mud but beer soothed much discomfort. Many philosophical discussions about movies, beer, relationships and Rob Schnieders high-water mark...Nothing was firmly decided...

I have monday off anyway
Just got back from a private screening of the semi-documentary "Beer Wars"..It was nice...Sounds like I was at a Phish concert...
Movie was weak but at least entertaining..it was coupled with a round table discussion at the end that was moderated by Ben Stein...(Bueller....Bueller....)....
Long day..Bottling is always a toss up..Supposed to start early and end early...not today... Sometimes a process can be so simple...

I may ask your opinion later when I am ready to say what needs to be said. Right now I am really still at a bad place, which is my fault as I should have dealt with this earlier, even though it has nothing to do with me. I sensed it was going to be problematic.....
I should have gone with what I was feeling, instead I am missing a friends bachlorette party this weekend, because the combination of this crap, my anger, her mouth and alcohol will end up badly and I won't do that to our friend nor do I want anyone else involved.
Glad you could keep your concentration
Be good-talk soon and thanks, I know your right!
