After a couple hard days of shoveling, everyone needs a break. Mine so happened to take place 1100 miles away in a place called Florida, where the sun shines and the temperature is above 12 degrees unlike my homeland - Chicago. Hitting the pool, Disney, Gatorland, and phase 10.
Pics and maybe a video to come.....

Whitney Christmas Vacation
What can I say other than it was long. Twelve days on the road when it should have been eight. Two canceled flights. Had to ship our son's gifts back as they didn't fit in our bags. Nevada City Hat Store. Sacramento. Napa. Monterrey. Auburn Ale House. Big Sur. New Years. Christmas. Rain. Wine tasting. BevMo. Road trip. Port. Hall Winery. Bears win. Dean and Deluca.

Christmas Fun, SHOOT THE PURPLE PEOPLE
Sacramento, California, Christmas Day
Well, I woke up at 4:15 in the morning to someone, who will remain nameless, saying (and I quote), "This is going to be a horrible day!" followed by a 4 year old asking "why is this day going to be horrible?"
That was the beginning of Chistmas.................. and no I am not making up.
Next gifts were exchanged without incident. That was a good thing.
After gifts, we started to play with all the toys Hunter received, including a shooting game called Toy Story 3 Space Shooter Target Game. My son
started to play this game when, Jill (my sister in law) states, "shoot the purple people, they are bad - The white people are good." Now right off the bat without dissecting this statement, what do you think? Now think about the same words coming out of a 4 year old....priceless.

Beer......
Well, it has been over two months since I last posted. That is not to say that I haven't had anything to say, just that I was to lazy to log into my blog and post. So I return to talk about something I love, and no it is not my wife...it's my other love - beer.
Goose Island
came out with a rare installment of their coveted Bourbon County line. I was visiting my local liquor store (Lincolnwood Wine and Spirits) when I asked my friendly beer guy if he had anything special. After some thought he said.....why you might like Bourbon County Stout Rare. Sure let me have a look-see.
This beer has been aged in 23 year old Pappy Van Winkle casks for 2 years. At 13% this is a serious beer. But do I drink it now, or let it age. That is the question.

My Hiatus is Over
Well after 2 months of not posting, I will finally humor the two people who read my blog by reliving these last 2 months in one post. Let us see. I was riding a bus that drove through a train gate, had a bachelor party that I survived...barely, tried to drink beer - but there was too much head (did I really say too much head?), got married, saw "the shocker" bumper sticker, walked into a bar that had block letters spelling out "BEARS SUCK", walked out of a bar that had block letters spelling out "BEARS SUCK", saw a tractor parade, saw a "pumpkin drop" (probably the biggest event that happens in Berlin, Wisconsin all year long), drank hot cocoa on a booze cruise, and I'm spent.
