As I wrote on my facebook page, my New Year's resolution will be a restrictive diet limited to Mediterrean pesto pizza, pints of frosty Black Butte Porter, and pumpkin cheese cake festooned with ribbons of dark chocolate.
Whether I can stick to this austere diet is another question, but in any case Happy New Year to All.

All the best to you and yours my friend.

What a great family photo! The twins are a joy to see.
Do try manfully to stick with that new diet. It sounds tough, but if you can make it through the first couple of months, it will get easier!

True or False: The only beers you can buy in the U.S. that are guaranteed not to have artificial ingredients, chemical preservatives, dyes/artificial colors are Bavarian beers.
According to Michael Savage (radio guy), several regions/countries regulate beer this way (restricting use of these artificial ingredients/preservatives) but when exported to the U.S., those same brewers CAN and often do change the mix. But apparently (according to Savage) Bavarian makers are not allowed to add this crap----even for the beers that they plan to export. Thus, ANY Bavarian beer will be all natural and with others, you don't have this guarantee. I wonder if he's right?

I don't really have the time or inclination to go into a rebuttal of Angelo's quote of Michael Savage, but apparantly neither of them have been paying attention to the micro beer movement that has taken place in the US and abroad over the past 20 years.
So, Jeff, let's drop that and wish you and your family a Happy New Year and more radios in 2011!
PS: Both my kids are in thier 20's and due to circumstances, both are home with me tonight while my wife is in TX visiting her ailing Mom. So, the girls may be with you longer than you think...
