In which I resort to the all-purpose excuse

It’s really hard to type with a cat leaning on your hand. For one thing, you don’t want to disturb him because he purrs so sweetly. You don’t want to disturb yourself because the softness of his head feels so nice. And you don’t want to risk the wrath of claws. It’s not like a […]

Incomplete

As in, I have no complete thoughts tonight, and the wild turkeys haven’t come back. Is that good or bad?

In which I try to sell you some beer

The New England Real Ale eXhibition starts a week from tonight, so it’s past time for my annual attempt to explain why I think cask-conditioned beer is so special. “Cask-conditioned” is the awkward technical term for “the yeast is allowed to make the beer naturally bubbly right in the vessel from which it’s served.” It’s […]
