monday's beer musings

monday's the busiest day at the office. there's the backlog from last week to take care of, plus new stuff that have come up over the weekend. seems like i've endless updates to this system i'm working on. i don't see the end in sight. the good thing is that it's work that i'm interested in. i'm not the best (not yet, at least, lol) but i'm working on it, and learning along the way. i suppose that's what keeps me going.... even when today started with a humongous headache. must be from the kegger this weekend. oy, i am getting old.

when i was in college (that's about 20 years ago), i used to bounce back up right after beer binges. all i need is 6 hours of sleep to shake of the drunk. now, give me that 6 hours, plus a couple for hurling and groaning, then 2 more hours for naps.

my tastes have changed too. in the past, all i knew was to drink Buds. there was a lite beer phase. that was when i was packing some extra pounds, which i wanted to get rid off while still getting my beer doses. tasted like water and i just ended up peeing a lot.

now, back in brewer's heaven, i am enjoying the variety of beers in Knoxville. i've taken a liking in Marble City's Dad's Dime Amber Ale. it tastes crisp, smooth and delicious. i also like Woodruff Brewing Company's Nut Brown Ale -- full-bodied and just the right hint of sweetness. (sorry, i'm not a pro beer critic. i just love 'em!)

of course, this weekend wasn't about satisfying the "beer connoisseur" in me. it was just about a bunch of guys, hanging out to watch some games. i think we had a Budweiser keg. i don't know. i didn't really care that much about the beer, until i've had to deal with Monday's hangover. LOL
