Still here.

Forsythian - I picked up the Albright boots for my boy. Got them a size bigger than his normal shoe size and that worked out well. Now we just need to find a time to go get 'em wet before he outgrows them. They look like they're pretty well made. Mine are some old Orvis boots that I picked up for a song when they went out of business here a few years ago.

Tried a couple new brews this weekend at the local Deweys pizza parlor:

Charleville Tornado Alley Amber (St. Genevieve, MO): good roasted malt flavor, very drinkable and tasty, long on the roasted flavor which I liked, but the head disappeared pretty quick.

Magic Hat 9 (Burlington, VT): advertised as a Pale Ale by the waitress, but was a little on the light side for that, and not much hops going on, and had an interesting apricot finish. Good chick beer.
