Drink em up boys. Just cracked a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Pretty good day for me so far:
Truly a day of manly successes. Cheers.
Also, I channelled Hoke after the game. A parent told me "Good game coach." My response was "I didn't kick a ball once - it was the kids who had a good game..."
On deck:

A little fine cognac on my bday with some ice cold brew to wash it down.

I'm having a few heinekens. Came to Florida a few days early to relax before I watch some ECHL action later this week featuring clients.
I've decided to lay off the food for a while, and go on the booze.

Drinking some Flying Dog Underdog and Great Divide Colette. So far so good. Congrats to the Wolverines that got drafted today as well!

Apparently my hypocricy knows no bounds...
What do you think?
Your opinion of "All Day"? I bought some a few weeks ago and was pretty disappointed especially considering it is Founder's and I love any IPA.
I thought it very weak.
It is very weak compared to the rest of the Founder's lineup.
Not bad for most brewers, but also not up to the standards that I expect from Founder's. Maybe I'm just spoiled by how fantastic Founder's is with everything else they brew; if this is their attempt to brew a "light" ale, then maybe they should have made that disclaimer.
+1 for a day of manly
+1 for a day of manly successes. I can claim no such thing today.
I am, however, finishing off the last of the Christmas scotch. In fact after I finish this glass there won't be a drop of alcohol left in the house. So the question is what to get next? I need both beer and booze. I'm leaning toward a six of Tiger beer and a six of something else. I'm definitely getting a bottle of Sailor Jerry's because it's been too long since that wonderful nectar passed these lips, but that leaves room for one more bottle on my shelf and I thought I'd open it up to suggestions.

You are really out there, my friend. What do you have in the glass/bottle tonight? I'm going with some really weird Japanese wine that I picked up yesterday (Umeshu), and probably some Oberon as the night progresses.
My day was substantially more boring, I wrote a paper, took a nap and worked for six hours while watching some softball on LiveStats. Speaking of which, are we meeting up in SE Michigan next weekend? If I'm driving up I'll probably stay in Ann Arbor.
Go Blue!

Perhaps you are thinking along the same lines as Dunbar - longer life through increased boredom? They disappeared Dunbar. Don't let it happen to you.

I went with Gumballhead; truly an outstanding beer, IMO. As far as not caring, this Saturday was more or less shot anyway, the weekends are substantially better with fourteen softball girls looking to party, and they're all gone for the night. In place of really drunk 18-22 year old coeds, I'm watching a movie (The Killing of a Chinese Bookie) and drinking a six pack, maybe moving on to that wine later.
And to your theory, I buy it. Busy semesters see me going out every Friday and Saturday, more tame semesters and I become more interested in nights like tonight, although preferably with female company.
Go Blue!

That's because Soccer is available to sign up for as 3-4 year olds... if it's the first sport you play it's the first sport to teach you foot work. Plus it's something that sounds nice to say for those who don't want to pan a sport.
Went to Dark Lord Day at FFF
Brought home: 8 DLs, a case of Zombie Dust, Alpha King, 2 Barrel Aged Appha Klauses, 2 Baller Stouts, and 1 BA Vanilla Bean DL.
But right now I'm drinking coffee and finishing up a paper on Section 512 of the DMCA liability loophole.

FFF = Three Floyds?
I've been hearing a lot of good things about their brews---but haven't tried anything yet other than their Alpha King. I see they're located in Munster, IN, I'll have to make a stop there next time in Chicagoland, I guess. I looked at ratebeer.com a minute ago, they only have about 150 or so different Three Floyds brews listed. The brews you brought home---are they your favorites?
While I don't have the stock
While I don't have the stock of Three Floyds that Bryan has, I am drinking their Gumballhead tonight. It's exceptionally drinkable in quantity and has a lot more flavor than most beers with that drinkability, IMO.
As much as I love world-class beer, I can't sit and drink four or five super heavy stouts, or the same amount of a 10% Imperial IPA with an IBU through the roof, so I'm really partial to flavorful session beers.
Go Blue!
Yea, they have been listed as #1
Brewery in the world something like 5 years running. People go nuts for ZD, but personally, I prefer a fresh Alpha King, the stuff is amazing.
DL will age very nicey for the next few years and the other stuff will be opened on occasion.
and to Justin, forgot to mention, picked up a sixer of the Gumball as well today.

I don't officially graduate until I complete my teaching e-portfolio and present it the first week of June. I am drinking some Great Lakes Brewing Co. Edmund Fitzgerald.

Congrats on - nearly -
Congrats on - nearly - finishing the SMAC. I did it last year, have a great job (though had to leave the state), and it prepared me so, so much. I'm complimented often by peers and parents about how well my classes go, how much the kids are getting out of them, and my general ability to not be overwhelmed by insane workloads.
A lot of people complained about the program during it, but man it gets you ready like maybe no other degree for any job will. Additionally, having that theory background really does make a difference once you get the whole classroom management down. Just knowing what differentiated instruction is and having an idea about how to do it will put you leaps and bounds ahead of some peers and it makes a noticable difference in how well you reach every kid in a classroom.
Good luck in the job search and remember that it is not unusual to be looking for a job into August, so keep your head up.

Thanks! It is great to hear
Thanks! It is great to hear from a fellow SMAC'er. I completely agree with you that knowledge about the theory of differentiated instruction really does adds an extended dimension to your instruction. For me, my challenge was getting the classroom management down. I am student teaching freshmen physics. I originally wanted to be placed at an ann arbor school, but got placed in South Redford. I thank Dr. Peters everyday for ignoring my whining at the beginning of the program for my placement not being in Ann Arbor. I stated on my placement form that my top goal was to become proficient in classroom management. My placement has definitely allowed me to become a competent classroom manager. I doubt I would have received the appropriate level of classroom management experiences if I was placed in Ann Arbor public schools.
As for looking for a job, I tied down to the SE Michigan area. I have a few leads for positions in Bloomfield Hills, Howell, Grosse Pointe, and Wayne Westland. My mentor and his PLC partner have been great resources for passing along any positions they hear are opening up.
I was placed in AA and it was
I was placed in AA and it was definitely a worry of mine that I would be missing out on some classroom management "issues" shall we say. In the end, I'm at a small private school and don't really need to worry about classroom management as much, but the positive side of the tradeoff is that I'm actually stepping down academically from the school I student-taught at. It's allowed me to immediately beef up classes beyond the standards they were previously at thanks to the great academics in the AA public school system.
Make sure you stay on top of the SMAC facebook page. Alums are always posting jobs there and I got my job solely because of former SMACer passed along word of the opening.
