Tonight, I’m grading student papers. Which, in case you’ve never done it yourself, is SO much fun. Students have the most creative, original ways of completely obscuring the thesis, grammatical rules, and spelling standards. At the same time, they skillfully weave every logical fallacy into a two-page, size 14.5 font, triple spaced, 1.25 inch margined paper that if you truly understood what has been accomplished, you might decide to just give them an A and set them on their way.
On the plus side (guess what…I was being sarcastic before) I decided to enjoy a little beer with a side of pizza for dinner. The beer of the week is from a Chicago suburb, the Two Brothers Brewing Company. It’s a seasonal IPA that they’ve labeled “Heavy Handed,” as in, “our hands were heavy with the hops we used for this beer.” It’s great. Much, much better than the Longhammer I wrote about before. I’m sorta color-blind, but the color looks like a beautiful, rich red (I’m not completely color-blind). The flavor is, well, hoppy, and fantastic. I also bought a 6-pack of the 60 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head that I mentioned before. I’m not going to touch that tonight, but within a couple days, I’m going to do a comparison. They’re both really good. I’m looking forward to it.
As for the pizza, that’s really good too. But not quite as special.
