johnstown brewing company

This evening, we went to the Johnstown Brewing Company with Judy. We didn’t have the cod. I had chicken marsala, which was quite good. And I have leftovers for my lunch tomorrow, which is cool. Brian had the pale ale and rather enjoyed it. Judy stopped by our house afterwards and hung out for a bit. It was good to see her again–we don’t get to hang out as often as we used to.

I think this was only the second time we’ve eaten at the JBC. We’ve been there for drinks numerous times, but only for food twice. Both times, I enjoyed the meals. It’s kind of cool to have a brewpub in town, so hopefully they will have continued success.

jake

dead meat skulls

This is the name of Jacob’s new band. Please note the lack of pretentiousness–they are “Dead Meat Skulls”, not “The Dead Meat Skulls”. I don’t know if they’re punk or what as I have not heard any of the music yet. But seeing that Jake’s playing guitar for the band, I’m sure I’ll hear something soon enough.

I’ll keep you posted.

the weather outside is delightful

At least that’s how AccuWeather has described it recently. I’m inclined to agree–70s and sunny during the day; upper 50s to lower 60s at night. Talk about good sleeping weather! Does weather like this exist anywhere 365 days a year (I’ll even take some rainy days–that would be ok)? If so, let me know because I’m going to move there.

family reunion

Today, we went to Portage for my family reunion. It was a pretty laid back affair this year. Jake had a lot of fun playing with his distant cousins. Brian and I just hung out and relaxed the whole time. Brian’s really going to have to start taking his camera with him everywhere we go. We missed a great photo op on the way home. Some guy had a sign in his yard that read “doe and buck urine for sale.” Where else but Portage could you find a gem like that?

band bash 2005

Last night, we had our annual band cookout. What band, you might ask? Well, representatives from Garden of Ashes, Rottenstone, East of Eve and Temple to Blackness were in attendance (and that only accounted for three of us!). I made way too much food (due to the fact that some people can’t commit–don’t worry, I’ve made note of it), so it looks like we’ll be eating BBQ for the next few days. Fortunately, no one’s complaining about that.
