31 is the new 21

I have been too keep the blog up to date recently. It's sad I know but I have not had time to keep up with the 'lucky few' (the small handful of blogs I could be bothered actually reading daily) either. Moving across the world seems harder the second time around and time has been at a premium. Actually the only time I have actually had to relax and kick back was on Saturday which was my birthday. It's official, now I'm 31 I have shed the cloak of youth and am on the cusp of embracing the daunting period known as middle aged. To celebrate the milestone I had a bit of a party aptly titled "31 is the new 21". I managed to polish off the remains of the case of Gage Roads IPA I picked up last week and also received a pile of German Lagers as gifts , which I will endeavour to get through. The highlight of the German piss is a 5L mini-keg of Bitburger. Should make for an interesting session. I'm not letting an oxygen 'condition' this beer!
On the work front I started my new job on Monday. The jury is still out as it's only been two days but it seems pretty good so far. Whilst I slog it out at work my wife has been sorting out our new flat. I burnt through $10K in two hours on Friday buying furniture and white goods but we are on track to be settled in on the weekend. Fingers crossed I will be able to resume regular posting soon thereafter when I get back into a routine. Until then as sausage would say, take total care.

BTW - I hope this has been more exciting than day by day accounts of the GBBF, BrewDog Tokyo and other themes which seem to be polluting the beer blogs of late.

"day by day accounts of the GBBF, BrewDog Tokyo and other themes" - sorry, too much oxygen in my beer, that's my excuse.

Happy birthday. 31? I remember being 31, just.

My emotions are running deep. Since you're back posting, I've been singing Debbie Boone's, "You Light Up My Life." Honestly, I don't think I've ever felt more comfortable in this medium than now. Both Pete and Prescotti have tender sides. They've been tolerant of me and have gave my life new meaning. Expect inspirational tracks to follow. Where else can one go and learn about brewing science and be treated to songs of love and hope? APRK is cutting edge and setting the tone for tomorrow's blogs. People are tired of beer and pub reviews. They're looking for a combination of brewing science, a dedication to the arts, combined with tender insight. APRK provides all of that and more.

Take your time and get yourself sorted out. Peace, love and togetherness! Unless we're talking about video beer reviews, or drinking from over-sized wine glasses. That really fucking pisses me off!!!

No gay shtick here. I've been reading Gandhi the Man: The Story of His Transformation. It's opened possibilities of cohabiting with blogger scum. The jury is still out on Prescotti though. Avery and the other freak I call Herman, are the front runners for most despicable in the video category. So, there's work to be done.
