Octvember

It's been an action-packed Octvember.

First there was Oktoberfest. Low on costume ideas, mrguy and I went as Heino and Manager of Heino again. Our nephew, mr randommeats, named a beer after us (Heino's Dopple) and our pictures from last year graced the tap. mrguy made a stikke alt for the occasion and won best guest brew.

Later in the month it was ms scandwaiian's birthday. We spent an evening suffering through mildly competent surf bands until God in his Mercy rewarded us with Laika and the Cosmonauts.

The Reagan administration would have declared this beverage a fruit. I stuck to beer.


Later in the month we got a new stove for a blissful few days before the dining room became the kitchen, the walls went away and came back, and the rice cooker became our burner.
