Don't get me wrong.  I do enjoy drinking beer.  Trying new beer.   Toronto Beer Festival is coming up this weekend and with CASKapalooza at the event..... Let just say I'm looking forward to "Does This Muumuu Make me Look Hefe?".  I enjoy being marketed to with interesting labels. I enjoy watching my partner's beer passion.  I enjoy eating ridiculously large steaks with our friends from Toronto and sampling selections of ridiculously hopped beers.  I enjoy sampling different kinds of sausages with different mustards while drinking one of my favorite beers. 

I have been struggling with this BLOG thing.  I really want to write it, but felt I should write about beer....as not my passion....it felt forced.  My passion books. 

I recently met a girl.  She is lovely.  My son wants to be just like her (he wants her job).  She works for Simon and Schuster.  I met her at Hillside Music Fest and immediately noticed her Bill Pete body art.  They (her boyfriend and her)  came over for sausages and mustard..... and brought the above mentioned favorite beer.  We talked books, the boys talked beer..... the evening was perfect.  

Last night.....early this morning, I decided that I shall BLOG about books.... Two things A.... I love Young Adult.....B I read mostly Canadian authors.  I'm about halfway through "if you live like me" by Lori Weber.  The back cover boasts Lori to be a masterful story teller.  The book doesn't disappoint.  The main character is unlikable, and yet I like her.  The setting Newfoundland.....and now I want to move there......... Lori even worked in a brewery reference.   Cheers Lori....I can't wait to see how it ends.    H
