immagonna...
stop me if you've heard this before.
for each of the last 2 years i have successfully held onto and met my new years resolutions: 2009-quit smoking, 2010-loose weight. i have no idea what, if any, resolutions were made previously. it seems as if my weight loss plan has hit a snag, or more truthfully, plateaued. i have long known that actual exercise/movement is a key and it appears as if my body has realized this as well.
i'm not talking about hitting a gym as i'm too lazy and a tightwad for that nonsense. i have a feeling that something as simple as walking the dog more often and actually breaking out the set of disc-golf discs i've owned but not used for a couple years will help.
sol-stache.
that is not a misspelling. it's a combination of solstice and mustache. wtf do those things have to do with each other you ask? well, it's a pints-for-prostates fundraiser/party that is occurring on the winter solstice. ok, so where does the mustache come in you say. the icon for the event is nothing less than the great 'stache of a certain tom selleck! ahhhhhh....
tonight is the sol-stache party because, surprise, it's also the winter solstice. everyone in attendance will be wearing some form of upper lip hair, even the ladies - hopefully theirs are fake!

geekdom.
i should probably clarify that as beer geekdom... richmonds beer week ended on friday and i certainly donated large parts of my wallet and liver to the cause. a quick rundown of the events/brews i partook in:
legend brewery: lunch, tastings (brown, ipa cask, pale ale, porter), brewery tour, lots more brown...
cap alehouse (d'town): dfh india brown, st bernardus abt 12, art show benefiting ms society, ten-fidy, dinner, flying dog ba porter and single-simcoe casks
wine & beer westpark: ommegange beer theatre sampling hennepin, dubble, adoration, three philosophers and cup-o-kindess.
mekong: stillwater artisanal virginia launch party with tastings of saison darkly and existence black ipa in a dry-hopped cask. lots and lots of the existence...
williamsburg alewerks: brewery tour and stocked up on cafe royale for the cellar.
somewhere in there there was a stop at our fav bottle shop for a mix/match case of various bombers/750s and other assorted brews.
no, i am not an alcolholic. yet...
