First and foremost, Hayden Robert Magovern was born on October 4. My brother and his family are doing great. My parents are on their way in to town, and we're going to meet the little guy later today. I can't wait.
School has been going pretty well. The kids are great. Cross Country ends this week, and while we haven't won a match yet, we're looking for a win on Tuesday. Wish us luck!
Homework board.
Yes! The difference between a "student" and a "scholar"...
"I am a daughter, sister, niece, cousin, athlete, dog owner, and scholar," says a seventh grader.
Brewing
Brian just wrapped up his third attempt at brewing. This one was a Brown Ale based on the Dogfish Indian Brown Ale. It came out with the right flavor, but a little low on carbonation. The good news is we know why and can fix it for the next batch. It's been pretty cool to take part in this process - there's a lot of Chemistry involved - and it's given us a newfound respect for what it takes to make a great beer.
Moving the brew from the bucket to the carboy - the beer in its secondary fermentation stage.
Todd-o helped, too. Here they are with the final product. You guys look good.
