I was a big fan of James Burke’s Connections series in high school. When Ben described Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything, it sounded pretty sweet.

I landed the roll of best-man in Ben’s wedding. This means I’m obligated to wish them well in a speech which I get to give to the family and friends gathered before me after the ceremony at some point.

MY FAVORITE SONG: Updated to Dig a Pony.

Two carboys are in the bathroom burping their airlocks away. Yesterday Ben and I brewed two beers at once - mine a Pale Ale, his a Dunkel Weissen.

I just wasted my morning checking these loops out.

Setting: Underground skate party. A kegger two blocks from the convention center downtown. A live punk band, skaters taking turns in a bowl, skateboard art on display, skate video’s projected onto the wall outside, ~100 people present. I’m drinking a beer w/ Chambra, craning my head to look through a wire mesh into the bowl as skaters drop in for more vert than I’ve ever skated.
