Happy birthday, Bob K! 
OP

Bob K is a great guy - one of my favorite people.
His parents are both in their 90's and still living independently in PA. I told him with those genes, at 53 he is almost due for a mid-life crisis.

Nice pic of the Genesee of course, but those leaves! That had to be one beautiful hike!

It was a little foggy at the summit but otherwise a great day to be in the woods. Caught the leafs at just about peak. Fall is my favorite time of year in the adirondacks.
It's a little fuzzy, but I think I can already see young Patrick carrying the ball for Norte Dame. 
Already 4-0, could be a good year.

Paddy's Da was a pigskin standout in high school, so you may be onto something.

I really love the way you've handled this blog. Would you mind if I stole the format for myself?

Absolutely! Have at - it's a lot of fun.

I'm actually a writing student and haven't really tried writing about beer and brewing yet (beyond a few poems). I really hate the formality of blogs and the fact they often seem more like popularity contests than anything. This format seems so much less pretentious. I'll probably get my first post up tomorrow or the day after (homework today )I think I'm gonna expand a bit and also include posts about happenings in my own personal brewing experiences.

Sounds great - can't wait to read it.
Best way to become a better writer is to write constantly. Chronicling your brewing is a great place to start.
Good luck and keep with it.

Just wanted to say that I bet it is a chore keeping this thread up to date but I ninja watch it fairly regularly and enjoy it. I am probably not the only one. Keep it up!
P.S. I love the sepia like aging on all your photos.

I too was wondering how many subscribe to this. Do you know if there is a way to tell that?

Donnelly, I have been deployed for about 5 months in a dry country and have been living vicariously through your thread. Thanks so much for chronicling your appreciation for beer throughout the year. Keep it up!

Can't find a good enough camera yet, holding out for one before I start (trying to bum friends iphones, but I can't seem to get their picture messages to go to my email)
Also gonna try to get a free membership through the new technical writing section, (broke student) I feel like a recognizable avatar really helps (more personal)
