karl strauss brewing company, san diego

this weekend i made a few purchases:  a 15.4 inch macbook pro, a canon vixia hf10 16 gb flash drive high def camcorder, final cut express 4, and an air card from sprint so i can get online where ever i'm at, which is actually the only reason i'm finally able to post a new blog entry.  

yesterday my roommate and i went to seaworld because they let military go get in free.  and last weekend i went skiing at big bear with two other friends.   i met a guy who had been snowboarding since 1987.  he said that back then they had to make their own snowboards with wood benders and putting bicycle tubes that had been cut open onto the boards,  then connecting golfing spikes to the bottom of their boots!  he said that right where we were at was where snowboarding got started.  the first camcorder i bought got destroyed in a ski crash which is why i upgraded to the canon.  but at least i got it on film!  

one more thing before i go, i've been trying some san diego beer, and one brewery in particular i like a lot.  everything i've tried of karl strauss brewing company i've loved and i'm going to bring a lot to tuscaloosa next time i'm home.  it looks like i'm not leaving for iraq until the end of march so i might come home for a few days at the beginning of march, and i will definitely bring a lot of this beer for everyone to enjoy.
