Haven't updated in a while.



Ed and I have been making a lot of beer and he has become an avid homebrewer. We've made several 5 gallon batches in the last 2 months and he's had one beer tasting party at my house and we're having another one at his place next weekend. We made a movie of "The Making Of Irish Wedding Red Ale" for his cousin who is getting married and receiving a case of red ale from Ed for the wedding.



I was up late on Friday hanging out with a friend and seeing X Men 2 after along walk to balboa Park with her huge Great Dane puppy and then dinner at a Spanish place. I got home at 1 AM and went to bed at 2 AM. I woke up 5 hours later, started my day and then said. "Forget this! I'm going back to sleep!" So I did and then woke up at 11:15 AM. Later that day I drove down to Ed's place and then we went to the Hotel del Coronado to work as database jockeys for the JDRF gala fundraising auction. It was tough work and it is amusing to see the office manager attempt to be authoritative when she doesn't react well under pressure.



At one point she actually instructed us to not allow anyone to check out because it wasn't "time" yet. My comment was that if a $15000 donor wants to check out and go home, or even if he wants to check out and go back in, I was going to check him out whether it fitted into her plans or not.



Apparently she wasn't happy that Ed and I took off to the Coronado Brewery for lunch. We... didn't care.



I have been hiking in the hills locally a lot and having a good summer so far. it should be a good summer; I am looking forward to it.
