A good friend of mine entrusted me with the selection of beer for his Holiday party. This was the first time I had ever bought beer that I thought other people might enjoy. Usually I try new stuff (and old) that I think I’ll like. All in all I think it turned out rather well. The following is what I took.

Chekvar, Spaten Oktoberfest, Hacker-Pschorr Wiese, Watou Tripel, Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout, and Young’s Double Choclate Stout

I didn’t hear any complaints. Everyone really enjoyed the Watou Tripel. And of course the Stouts were great with the cheesecake!

My semster is over, almost. I have a final in Symbolic Computation Thursday next week but I’m not concerned about that at all. Next semester I’ll be taking Theory of Computation and Spanish I. I’m looking forward to both of these classes. The classes I took this semster weren’t great. Symbolic Comp. wasn’t really interesting at all. I find the Maple language pretty confusing and inconsistent. The power of the application is great though. Early History of Mathematics turned out okay. I wasn’t really interested in doing any of the asingments but the material had potential. I might keep reading my textbook to see what else is in there. And because I like to talk up my wife’s cooking, she made me a great dish the other night of Patriotic soup and spicy italian sausage.

My brother-in-law, Brooks Vanderzee, is serving in Afghanistan right now. He was on Fox 13 news this morning so I made a cut and posted it HERE for all his friends and family to watch.
