Here are parts One and Two if you missed them. On the train leaving Belfast, the weekend had arrived. Besides groups of guys downing Carlsberg and dropping F-bombs non-stop during the ride, Ben encountered a group of slags in the food car with empty bottles of champagne and signs posted everywhere that read, "Hen Party… Continue reading A Week In Ireland (part three)

A Week In Ireland (part one)
After over a decade of not having left the country, my husband and I were able to finally go to Ireland for our anniversary. I had always wanted to get married at Giant's Causeway, and he had lived in Dublin while going to Trinity College way back when, so it seemed a logical choice to… Continue reading A Week In Ireland (part one)
Rocktober Recap
Because Rocktober isn't finished yet, I thought I'd post some photos from the Oktoberfest event I attended in Berea, Ohio. Was it better than the Minster one? By far. Was it better than what I assume the real one in Munich is like? Not really. Although the beer selection at this event was better than… Continue reading Rocktober Recap
A Beerly Tradition
Last weekend I did the Grand Rapids brew pub extravaganza trip yet again. You can read about past ones here and here. This year we cut out all the nonsense and just stuck with the Diemer Race (my husband beat former Olympic Bronze medalist Brian Diemer again, and won a donut) and going to Hop… Continue reading A Beerly Tradition
A Fabulous Day in Pittsburgh
Drove down with Michelle Muldrow and Dott Schneider to Pittsburgh for some art farting and for the Box Heart 10 Year Anniversary exhibit. We lucked out with great weather (okay it was pretty hot actually), an awesome ride with leather interior and cruise control, and rocked out to some classic rock while eating beef jerky… Continue reading A Fabulous Day in Pittsburgh
Beer Me!
What do you get your wife for her birthday to show you care? A custom beer order, duh! Our friend Chris wins awards with his brewing skills and we decided to go over and see the process of making an "Arabella Imperial Red". Click images for descriptions. I really didn't follow what was going on… Continue reading Beer Me!

Michigan Trip
Wow, I really don't know where to begin on this whole crazy weekend to Michigan. What started out as just a trip to Grand Rapids for a 5k turned into a beer fest of sorts. I'm glad I stuck to my new little program of "smart drinking" where I can enjoy many beers and yet… Continue reading Michigan Trip
Oktoberfest: Minster, Ohio
Ah, Ohio. So much to explore in my adopted state, there is no shortage of strange and overly kitschy trips you can do here as I'm finding out. My husband and I have a habit of doing trips that seem more for people in retirement than a younger couple. I'm shocked we don't own an… Continue reading Oktoberfest: Minster, Ohio
