My jobs are currently teacher and husband, but my time is mostly spent in the employ of a related hobby, learning. I am constantly learning to live less like I am the most important person in the world. Learning to find other ways to show my wife I love her besides flowers. Learning from the perspectives of those I encounter inside and outside the classroom. Learning how to exist in a world that gives unfair advantages to some and not others. Learning how to open others eyes to that inequity. Learning what it means to push myself to the limit mentally and physically. In short, learning to be.

The End of History

Fitting name for this new beer by Brewdog. This 55% alcohol Belgian
ale (which is technically whiskey since it's been cold-distilled) is
packaged in the friendly taxidermied bodies of local Scottish wildlife
(think beer + action figure). I hope the intention of this beer is to
highlight the extreme lengths that brewers go to make their beers
standout (i.e. vortex bottles, and cold activated cans). If that was
the case then they have succeeded because the beer sold out in hours.

Surely, I love that more people are drinking good beers and less
mass-produced corn and rice drink (aka Coors, miller, and Bud), but
this seems to be a case of the pendulum swinging too far in the
opposite direction. At the same time there is something intriguing
about a squirrel with a beer coming out of it's mouth. Hooray beer!
