To quote Everlast from a House of Pain song, "I'm back from the dead, with a shaved head." Man, I loved me some House of Pain.
But let me get back on track. I looked at this blog and realized that it'd been well over 2 years since I've posted on here. I can't even qualify as a part time blogger with that kind of record. I had the best of intentions when I started this thing, I really did. Maybe 2013 will be a better year for blogging about beer and homebrewing and just random stuff in general. We'll see... Keep your fingers crossed just as a precaution though.
A lot has happenend in my life since those last posts. Seems like ages ago. There's been babies born to family and to friends and there are babies on the way. There's been loss; my grandmother and one of my oldest friends. Our house flooded (again) and we've begun a fairly massive renovation of the place. We bounced around ideas of moving and finally made the jump. Life happened.
But, through it all, I've stayed busy with brewing. It has progressed way beyond a quirky little hobby that I picked up and tinkered with, much to Jessica's personal displeasure... Brewing has become a passion to me. Actually, it's become more of an obsession to me. And secretly, Jessica does everything she can to support me in my hobby. She feigns interest, pats me on the back, hell, she even knows that I love IPAs. Not to shabby for a gal who's not a beer drinker.
Everyone close to me knows how I get with a hobby. I tend to invest myself fully into it. Once I decide I'm going to do something, I take it as far as I can manage. Always have, always will. Brewing is no different. Actually, it is different. I've been steady at it since late 2008 and it shows no sign of slowing. Those close to me seem to think that this brewing thing isn't going away. I don't either.
With all that brewing came success and failure. There were contests, awards, bitter defeat, ruined batches, epic wins, anger, high fives, excitment, comraderie, and most of all, good beer.
I'll keep this post short. My intention is to try and update this blog at least once a week. I make no promises. I tend to overload myself with projects, home life, and all things in between. Hopefully, the more I do this, the easier it will get, and then it'll be an unconscious effort to update. We'll see...
In the meantime, cheers. Hope to have a beer with you all soon.
