Thank you! So Mark, you in? I'm going to sign up as soon as I finish replying here. I figure I'll be lost on the first day but also know there are quite a few folks from this site who will help a fellow brewer. Might even be some sort of HBT study group. Wouldn't suprise me in the least.

Yes, I'm in (same screen name) and it wouldn't surprise me if that thread becomes a study group. The professor has signed up for HBT as well and has posted in that thread, so I'm kind of hoping he brings the course down to the level of his audience!

Yeah I saw that, pretty cool!

That would be great. In the mean time, Let's get ready for the new year! I love this song, my favorite when the new year approaches. I like the way it ends. It makes me think of old girlfriends. Those strong, deep memories are killers... I'll bet you all have some of those. I'd love to chat with some of those great girls - I wonder how their lives turned out.

The following is a submission for your late nite, end of the year soundtrack. By the late Dan Fogelberg, who really did run into an old girlfriend on a Christmas eve in Peoria, at a convenience store at the intersection of N. Prospect and E. Frye, near the high school where his father really was "the leader of the band".

Great song PP! I've always liked that song but had no idea it was based on a true story or took place in Peoria. My dad was a farmboy but his parents moved the family to Peoria around the time he started high school. Both my grandparents lived their till they passed. My brother and his family live in Peoria now as does his wife's family. What a small world.

As far as old girlfriends, yeah it would be kind of interesting to see how their lives turned out.

I traveled with a vaudeville show that played briefly in Peoria. In show biz, they say "if it will play in Peoria it will play anywhere". I don't remember how the show was received in Peoria, but it was a bomb elsewhere.

Your letting you age show

 

[Dan]

You know folks. I'm at my wits end most of the time. On one hand I'm an ahole. On another I'm a godly man. The two probably shouldn't intertwine. But they do. I'm just me and I'm nobody in particular. I do wish you and yours a very wonderful new year.

I hope all your days will be happy.

Got to hold the crying grand baby now. It's pretty cool

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Happy New Year late nighters!

Happy New Year Mark

 

[Thunder_Chicken]

The stroke of midnight brings 2014, as well as shouting and police outside my front door. Awesome.

 

[ChefRex]

Happy New Years!

 

[Dan]

Cheers!!

Happy New Year!

 

[Stauffbier]

On one hand I'm an ahole.

I refuse to believe this for even one second! I don't think you even have it in you to be an ahole Dan!

Happy New Year my friend! I believe this will be a great year of many new, wonderful changes for you!

...and Happy New Year to all of you other kind folks in this thread, as well. Wishing all of you the very best this new year.

Cheers!

Happy New Years. Glad to hear you're feeling better today. Drink up

 

[Dan]

Wow. Bunch of my texts result on thread crashes. Somebody mentioned this problem the other day but I had no problems with it. Now my replies, long replies go down the tube.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Happy New Year

 

[Dan]

It's 3:51 pm here, Pacific time.. Everybody is in jammies. Drapes are closed.. Chill'n today. Little G woke up early. We wrote a song together.. Really corny and I'm not going to post it. Was fun though.

What? I still have a spark of creativity in me? Soar

 

[Dan]

Alright. Why shouldn't I start off the new year with a foolish jingle.

Sing this fast tempo.

Ready G?

My name is Gracelyn Dawson
And I'm truly, truly awesome
I like to poop and I like to pee
I Love to cry and My diapers will make you cry
I'm Baby G, I'm me

Just be aware of my lovely lovely stare
Or my smile - I break out when I dare
I'll melt your heart with my little baby farts
I can't wait till my crawling soon starts

I'm Gracelyn D.
Going to live a life for me
Awesome Gracelyn Dawson,
That's me!

 

[mcbaumannerb]

So I behaved last night - had a few big beers, but paced myself and drank water along the way - plus I crashed at 12:05. I was a little tired this morning, but thankfully no hangover. Went to a great brunch with friends late morning and then spent the rest of the day putting away the Christmas decorations and cleaning house. After that I got the pork tenderloin roasted, made some mashed taters and heated my annual allotment of krait. After enjoying that followed by a Blackout Stout with chocolate cake for dessert- I am now near comatose...not a bad way to start a new year in my book! Hope everyone had a good one as well. And Dan - the jingle brought a smile to my face.

Where's the live concert video Dan? I bet its a good tune.

 

[Dan]

Don't tempt me LRB. Trying to get my girls to sing it. If my son was here he could put some guitar to it

The day is still young

 

[Dan]

Mark, sounds like a good day!

[HefeHood]

Dan, your going to make that granddaughter feel real special some day. I bet those smiles are for you. Lets see a video. Really think you need to write a book, diary, blog, whatever you want to call it, for your kids and grandkids. I am sure they would love to read ur writings understand what an awesome dad\grandpa you are.

Happy New Year All.

 

[Dan]

Thank you Hefehood. I think I will do something like that. I used to have a journal of sorts. Somehow it ended up at my folks house. My mom kept things. All got lost when my folks passed away a decade or so ago.

Putting on a sound bite, maybe. Not sure it will work. I sound like crap. Good thing I don't rely on my voice for a Living
. . .

Nope no sound byte. I thought I could post it on my phone like a pic.

Help anybody?

 

[Dan]

Maybe this?
