hey, louie, willi, big dale, waldo, le duc du chocolat, and other
ragged and sorry sonsabitches--where the **** are you?

I'll admit to being a ragged and sorry SOB - so even if I wasn't being
addressed, I'll fess up. I'm following in the footsteps of my mentor Opie
by taking 12 credits at UMass/Amherst in addition to my day job. Busy,
busy, busy. I'm planning on earning an MS in applied math in a couple of
years, or die trying (which is at least as likely an outcome). In my spare
time I'm working through the 160 beer list at my favorite beer dive. And by
the way, I found beer heaven last week: Moenchsambacher Weihnachtsbock.
Awesome, awesome stuff. If that was readily available, I would gladly give
up school, fishing, and many other things in order to imbibe beyond reason.
