Belated Merry Christmas, GMTAN, in case I forgot to get one in ahead of time.
Congrats, Stu.

GM> Welcome to the Great Lakes. Lots of good beer made in Michigan.
Big fan of the Michigan craft beers. I drank so many of them last night I decided to smoke a cigar at midnight in the freezing cold and the snow. Needless to say I didn't finish it.

Rochester Brewery for dinner tonight. Beers were pretty good, though I probably ordered two of their weaker offers. The lager was so-so, but the ESB was good. Most everybody else had the Red, which is probably their signature brew.
Downtown Rochester is pretty cool at night the way the city has blanketed the buildings in
crimmus lights.
Tomorrow, we are going to the Henry Ford museum. I cannot describe in words how incredibly excited I am for this. Hope it doesn't disappoint. Ford was an American badasssss. After that, it is off to Dave & Busters. I am nearly 40 years old. I drink. A lot. And yet I have NEVER been to a Dave & Busters. Not real sure what goes on in there, but when I see their commercials during Bowl season, I think it looks like fun. Lots of hi-fives and smiles in the commercials, course they are laughing uproariously in Olive Garden commercials too, so...huh.
Just opened a Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale. My FIL stocked this house very well with good beers, but not sure I'm crazy about this one. It's
too chocolatey.
Oh, anybody else catch that Duke/Cincy Bowl game?

The gambling gods smiled upon some of us in that one.
Hmmmm, everybody is asleep now. wife, baby, sons, FIL, MIL, BIL...just realized they have Showtime here.
