Brew Blog: Schmohz Brewery
We did a little impromptu trip to Schmohz Brewery last weekend before heading over to our friends’ house for dinner. I didn’t actually know that this brewery was there. When we walked in, I had the immediate impression that I somehow walked through a time vortex straight back into the 1980s. I mean, really. Wood…

Brew Blog: HopCat
The next stop on our brew tour was HopCat. I think I had actually only been to HopCat once before, and it had been a very long time. I think Tom’s been a number of times, but we hadn’t been there since we began our “Brew Tour”. We had said months ago that we needed to…

Super Mario Baby Shower, Plus DIY Onesies and Mobile
My brother and his wife are due to have their first baby at the end of March. They are expecting a baby boy, who will be our first nephew on my side of the family. I can’t wait to meet him. My brother decided on an awesome theme for the baby’s nursery: Super Mario Bros.…

Catching Up with Life & Changing the World
I read my friend Kelly’s blog post today and thought: wow, I feel the exact same way! Life has been a blur for the past 5 months, mostly because I’ve been super busy with lots of good stuff: work (I love my job), traveling, holidays, project after exciting project with the RPF, teaching Sunday school,…

Brew Blog: Thom Bomb Brewery
Okay, so this isn’t actually a stop on our brew tour, but it’s something I have to share. Last year, Tom attempted to brew his own beer for the first time. He enjoyed the process and actually ended up making three different batches. I think the first batch may be all gone now, but he…

Brew Blog: Perrin Brewing Company
Friday night we went to Perrin Brewing Company with a couple friends of ours. We had actually been there before, but it was before we officially started the Brew Tour, so, of course, we had to go again! This place is huge and has also been completely packed both times we went. Fortunately, our friends…

Brew Blog: Odd Side Ales
Tom and I made our second stop on our Brew Tour this past Sunday, on our way up to Montague where we were meeting some friends at a cabin for New Year’s. We were going to make a pit stop in Spring Lake at the Old Boys’ Brew House, but we missed our turn. Instead…

The Best of 2012
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to remember some of the things we did and things that happened in 2012. I feel like it was a whirlwind of a year, but here’s a brief memoir of what I can remember from the activities done, people visited and…

Lake Superior Circuit
Tom and I were reminiscing last night about a trip we took two summers ago. I hadn’t yet started my blog at that point, but I wanted to share some videos and experiences from that trip here — so, sorry it’s two years late, but here’s an overview of our epic adventure around Lake Superior.…

Rheum Vocabulary
For quite some time now, the online #rheum community has been creating their own language, including made up words and terms to describe our experiences with rheumatoid disease. Quite often these terms are punny and mildly humorous. Other times, these terms are downright hilarious. As I’ve already stated that I believe laughter is often the…
