so as of yesterday at ~10:30 am, I'm now fully vaxxed and Double Boosted. have felt a little shitty today.. .but makes me feel way more secure about going to a Seder next Friday, going to Kings Island for Coasterstock in May, and going to Europe in June. Bert, your post reminded me to get Booster #2 Saturday. We hosted an influx of family all day yesterday, and I was confident the shot wouldn't interfere, but as of 9:00 pm when I had to catch up with grading to meet my 11:00 pm deadline, the fatigue was almost overwhelming. There might have been a few more A's awarded than usual...

Hush yo' mouth... my top faves in the beer world are Stouts & porters...
save for the over-proliferation of IPA's
Sheesh, I go on vacation for a week, and the beer conversation starts up!! I hope I'm not too late! Similarly, I do enjoy Stouts, and Guiness is my favorite go-to beer. I am glad that I developed the palate for IPAs so I can appreciate them sometimes but I agree on their over-proliferation and the unfortunate side effect that many other types of craft been have been considerably over-hopped since they blew up. I am honestly pretty tired of blatantly hopped beers of any type lately, and I have been developed an appreciate for the more basic American lagers we used to mock. They have a good, fresh brightness to them that I can appreciate more now. Only if it's on tap. Guinness in some other container (cans or what have you) is an abomination. Guinness on tap however, is about the closest our decadent civilization can get to manna. -M This might belong in a there, I said it thread, but here we go. I love Guinness. I've had it on draught AT Guinness in Ireland. I can't taste a difference between that and the pint sized cans with the nitrogen widget. Mind you, I think that just speaks to how good the nitrogen widget in the pint cans is. Guinness in a glass bottle is not NEARLY as good. Its one of my favorites since before I should have even buying beer. Not only because its quality but its also readily available stout anywhere in the country. And I’ve tried every variety they have save the new “coffee” beer they have out. Also agree with tartanphantom on Murphy’s. Never had Beamish before so Ill have to look out for that next trip to the liquor store. And like him I dont drink stouts as much as I’d like to for the same reasons. The Coffee one is really good if you like coffee flavored stouts. Had to do the taxes this weekend... It's never fun, but I will readily admit that since I gave in and started using a paid-for program instead of doing everything by hand, it takes a lot less time. I also had the opportunity to find out that my publishing venture earned me the grand total of $25.95 in 2021. As the saying goes, "don't quit your day job!" I started using a local CPA once we moved states and bought a house. I figured that was enough life change to get a professional involved to make sure I didn't screw anything up. I am never going back to doing it myself if I can help it. It's not just the spared headache and time saved, but having continuity and a professional responsible for it it is awesome. If the IRS has questions they handle it.

Glad you got it tho . . .it's worth the fatigue (which lasted ~18 hours for me). the Doctor advised us to get right away so that we will be fully protected when the next surge starts to hit.

I just learned someone I use to work with back in 2013-2015 that I lost contact with from another former coworker died yesterday of cancer. He had developed lung cancer that spread to his brain. He spent 2 weeks prior to this is the ICU. He as about 10 years younger than me and left his two children without a father. He didnt smoke. It was just unfortunate I guess. His wife and him had divorced some years back. But I know he loved his children.

That's my thinking. We've managed to avoid it so far, but with a return to on-site work next month and the potential for that surge, I want all the protection I can get. Y'know, what's really amazed me is how every single Covid vaccination I've received has been delivered with close to zero needle sting--the first one was essentially undetectable. Has there been some kind of radical improvement in injection technology since my prior shots 4-5 years ago? Or have my pain sensors dissipated?

My understanding is the Covid vaccine is administered with a particularly small needle, so that might explain it. I agree, these shots have been much less painful than I seem to recall others being.

What's been the haps with you lately, Slam? Nothing much. Kids all gone to college. Understaffed at the office. Ready to retire but almost 10 years away. On the plus side, live music is back to being a thing.

On the plus side, live music is back to being a thing. I feel you on the understaffed thing. I'm on 4 different teams and 3 of them are understaffed, but management just spends all the money on hiring in the sales department instead of any product development team.
