Seriously, I don't know what Sean and I would do without our hobbies. He's got another one brewing...
Last Sunday, Sean started making beer! I think he's always had an interest in it--most men do, I think--and this summer, started looking into it seriously. His birthday presents all focused on brew-making, and with a neighbor who's been doing it for almost 20 years, he could borrow anything he didn't receive as gifts. Good neighbor, he is!
As you probably kow, beer making requires yeast. Happy, healthy, yeast. To Sean, that meant they should start respiring with gusto ASAP--he may have been expecting instant carbonation. "Biology takes time," his wife says. You'd think a geologist would understand that.
Sean has been checking his water lock on the car boy for bubbles every couple of hours for the past two days. He hasn't had a bubble yet, and was getting disheartened. But the neighbor brewmeister said that it might take days before something happened...
And tonight, something's happening. No bubble yet, but the bubble in the water lock is growing, and will soon be escaping. Probably at around 2:00 a.m. or so--I wouldn't be surprised if Sean is awake and there to see its emergence.

You go, Sean. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
You know - it is written the fine print of the Ferndale Jazzercise Child Care handbook:
Employees must present class owner with sample of any home brewed beer made during time of employment.
Just reminding you.
Did you know Trina's husband makes beer? It's yummy.
Seems I'm having a problem with typographical errors tonight....
The #1 thing that bugs me about blogger? You can't edit your comments.
Homebrew, Homebrew, Homebrew!!!
