Your beer journal totally blows my mind! The names, photos, and descriptions are fantastic. And to think, I've been feeding cans of old Coors my step-son left in the fridge to the army of slugs trying to eat my flowers in the front yard. Don't think it's working quite right, though. I saw a pile (literally, a pile) of adults in the beer pool, and two tiny little babies crawling out from the side of the mayonnaise jar lid.I think I've created a resort for the little critters.
I'm back to blogging. Whoo-hoo! And hope to hang with it. Got myself a dandy little pseudonym, cat5evie, but to my old writing class buddies, I'm still Beth . . .
