Swim, Socky Socks, Beer!
Today was Julie's first swim lesson. It went well, and there were many more positives than negatives. To be honest, I was a little bit afraid that Julie would just balk and refuse to get in the water or something. But luckily that didn't happen. Instead, she stripped off her cover-up dress and hopped into the water the moment she was allowed. It's a small group - only three kids - and the teacher seems super nice and good with kids.
She was very patient - almost too patient as Julie was busy with her own agenda and testing the limits of how much she could get away with. Julie does have a tendency to ignore instructions and find her own imaginary things to do. Case in point - Julie was not supposed to be climbing up on the side of the pool at this point.
I was a little relieved when teacher Krista finally set a boundary and told Julie that if she didn't listen she was going to get to sit on the side of the pool and watch while everyone else played in the water.
I had a few moments to work on Pomatomus today, as well as a few moments last night, and that means I've gotten far enough....
...that I can set it aside for a while - long enough for my students to catch up at least - and work on...
...Baudelaire. Isn't it cute, all barely started?
Oh, and I was heading into the kitchen to take these pictures and I found this scene...
Joe was doing something to his beer mid-brew. I didn't really ask exactly what was going on, but I'll tell you this - that giant bottle on the stool? It had some really nasty looking brown foam in it. I find this amusing, though, because I know the end product is going to be yummy!
Oh, and hey Cece - TMI stands for Too Much Information.

Looks like he's moving to a secondary fermenting vessel. Two fermentation cycles is pretty common for homebrew. He has lovely carboys :)
My hubby (also a Joe) homebrews too. A very familiar sight in my household as well. It is yummy isn't it?
