Ann and I threw on some Ween and carved our pumpkins. Can you guess which one we each did? Now Ann's roasting the seeds...mmmm...salty.

What time is it? Mesmerizing...

Bill Simmons, my favorite writer on ESPN.com, wrote an article saying that Red Sox fans should forgive Bill Buckner. He makes some pretty good points, but deep down I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the pain.

We bottled our Pumpkin beer last night - we named it "Throw That Pumpkin at the Tree Ale" in honor of the Ween song "Roses are Free" Thanks to Jake for the suggestion.

Our dryer died. Our neighbors moved out so we were using their dryer (on their electric bill...), but that was never going to last, so we had to buy a new one (it was a lot cheaper than the price on the web). Ahh...the joys of married life.

On a more interesting note, we had a great beer last night - Hitachino Nest Lacto Sweet Stout. A sweet stout is brewed with lactose - that's why it is otherwise known as a milk stout. I love English translations of Japanese. Check out this page that suggests which Hitachino Nest beers one should pair with Japanese food. Classic. (Of course their English is a lot better than my Japanese)

We're brewing a pumpkin ale today. If you have any suggestions for the name, we'd love to hear them. Leave a comment if you do!
