The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Mead...is a powahful drink. Luckily there were only three beverages available to be tapped (hard cider, regular mead, and braggot, a mixture of mead and hops), or driving back home (less than an hour!) would have been problematic. And Smokehouse Winery/Meadery is a highly neat place, very small, with the coolest cat ever. Erik is now more determined than ever to start brewing his own mead, which made me remember that I always wanted to be a beekeeper, so...I dunno. We have 11 acres, after all, a few hives will fit right in! I need normal hobbies.

Also - SHADOWMARCH!!!! I may have to actually buy the hardcover. I can't wait to see what's been changed from the serial version, and I can't wait for more of the story!!1oneone!

I found a fascinating report about the different realities that Bush and Kerry supporters live in. Most Interesting. I also know the best people EVAR!, because waiting in my inbox this morning was a copy of the Virginia Constitution, a copy of the proposed amendments, and a brief analysis of what they really mean by the Wonderful Keith. Not the one I commute with, but the one I get involved in three hour discussions about the gold standard with, who can (quite literally) whip a copy of the Consitution out of his back pocket when exact wording becomes an issue. And he took me to London, which also gets mad bonus points.

I'm all hyped up for a Good Weekend o' Fun. Just a few hours to go before I can get out of here.
