Been slacking again on the posting, meh…so sue me. I have been re-igniting a nerdy side project of mine and getting out and about to enjoy the last throes of warm weather. The snow will be here soon enough, however I vow to do more wintry activities this year. That means sliding down a hill on something, try ice skating, cross-country skiing and/or build a snowman.

Some other things:

• Went to Sandstone with some good people on Sunday for what we thought was an OktoberFest. It was more of an October Fest–in September. However it was fun to see some small-town Minnesota-style fun.
• Looking forward to going to Florida for both Thanksgiving and a good friend’s wedding. I got lucky on the ticket and it isn’t costing me an arm nor a leg.
• Another area of slacking has been the cooking. Not that I haven’t been cooking mind you, but I haven’t been adventurous and made anything new or risky. However I am excited about what will be my winter experiment (*drumroll*)……BEER! Considering Northern Brewer is right up the street from my house, it only makes sense. I’ve been saving bottles for a while so I have enough to fill, though if someone were to see it in my apartment it would look like I’m a wicked drunk. I assure you, it’s almost a year of bottles.
• In a month I’ll be 30 years old. It doesn’t have the impact on me that it does some people, but it does feel a little weird to think about. I’ll reflect on that fence when I tumble over it though.

That is all, carry on.
