This past weekend went by pretty fast, but it definitely had its moments. The highlight of my weekend was hanging out with my old college roommate Mike. He currently lives in Edwardsville, PA and it had been about 4 years since I’d seen him (which is entirely too long and entirely my fault). However, after reconnecting through our mutual friend (Facebook), we arranged to get together over the weekend.
When he showed up at my apartment on Saturday I swear I got flashbacks of college. He hasn’t changed one bit; he’s still looks exactly as I remember him (gay as a maypole, lol) and he is still working at the same place where he worked while going to King’s (although he’s moved up the chain a bit). Anyway, I had a lot of fun catching up; we went out to dinner, had drinks and spent most of the evening at my place talking about everything that’s gone on since leaving college.
What’s great is he also mentioned that he occasionally comes down to my area for training related his job, so we’ll have plenty of chances to get together again. I also would like to make the drive up to his neck of the woods sometime; and of course I wouldn’t mind stopping by the ol’ alma mater.
Besides hanging out with Mike, I also got to try several new beers over the weekend. I have decided to keep a list of the beers I’ve had and I’ve even developed a rating system so that I remember which beers I like the best. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Sam Adams Alpine Spring – 4
Sam Adams Boston Lager – 3
Troegs Hop Back – 1
Heineken – 2
Bud Light – 2
The rating scale is from 1 to 5, 5 being the best and 1 being the worst. The best so far has definitely been the Alpine Spring, it is citrusy and delicious. The worst was the Troegs Hop Back which I tried while out to dinner with my father-in-law. It was fairly bitter (or “hoppy”) and I just didn’t care for it.
Well, here’s to hoping the work week goes by as fast as the weekend did.
