Today was the speed skating Regional Championships at Oaks Park. Dad and Jonathan both raced. If you’ve never witnessed this sport, it is nothing like the roller-skating of yore. These guys and gals move fast. And train hard. I put some pictures on Flickr.

After the Taco Ride tonight, I transfered the above pictured liquid into another carboy for second fermenting. Looks tasty, right? Okay, beer doesn’t actually look all that appetizing until it is ready to drink. All you can see above is some sediment and yeast hanging out at the top of what you can’t see - a cloudy liquid: at this stage of the process the beer is very much a living thing. It can’t be rushed, and it is very much worth the time invested.
If you’ve been to my place, you already know I have a penchant for the written work - there are books everywhere. But behind the books are also old magazines that I can’t seem to recycle. Today in my search for jesus (in popular culture) I entered the magazine store on Hawthorne for the first time. It was glorious, as you can see from the picture taken with my phone, above.
Tonight was the kickoff parade for Pedalpalooza 2006. Pedalpalooza is a two and a half week long festival of bicycling with dozens of events. I have posted some pictures if the parade both on this site and also on Flickr. If you want to join in on the fun, go check out the calendar of events |
