April 12, 2020 Take a Deep Draft Why have I waited so long to read The Drawing of the Dark? Perhaps it was for the best. Tim Powers seems to have constructed a story drawing on interests and predilections that I have developed and nurtured over the years. Had I read it as a teen,… Continue reading Taking a Deep Draft.

Brew Day. Resurrected Post.
August 26, 2018 Brew Day Brew day! It has been a while. This is my first attempt at brewing entirely from mail order ingredients. I enjoy living out where I do, but to date I do not have access to a conveniently located home brewing supply store. I bought a new, larger brew kettle… Continue reading Brew Day. Resurrected Post.

Enjoying Freedom. Resurrected Post.
May 27, 2018 Enjoying Freedom It is a weekend during which I appreciate my freedoms and liberties more than I do most other weekends. Yesterday I took MBW and the HA to downtown Portland’s waterfront to enjoy the Rose Festival.

The Red Lion on the Columbia River was home to the first several OryCons I attended, beginning back in the late ‘80s. The Red… Continue reading Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party.

Brewing. Resurrected Post.
October 25, 2015 Brewing I got out the brew kettle yesterday. It’s been a while since I whipped up a batch of beer, but the entire process felt familiar and proceeded smoothly. And, of course, the kitchen smelled wonderful. The kitchen also required a thorough cleaning, but creating a bit of a mess is an… Continue reading Brewing. Resurrected Post.
Oregon Brewers Festival 2014. Resurrected Post
July 27, 2014 Oregon Brewers Festival 2014 I’m giving the usual topics a miss today in order to discuss beer. Specifically the beers I sampled at the 2014 Oregon Brewers Festival. I do wonder about the missing apostrophe in Brewers. Is not the Festival possessed by the Brewers? Well, never mind. I didn’t ride my bicycle… Continue reading Oregon Brewers Festival 2014.
