Qualifying Success!

  Yesterday,  I was successful in Qualifying for the 4th Grade Texas Star.   YEAH!   It proves that I share  a common writing style with 4th graders.   Something I have always been suspicious of from the beginning.  This means that Cheryl and I can now begin scoring together and making money once again.    ( Making some form of income is really really important!)  I admit, I was a little worried as I have ever scored from home before and Cheryl’s many failed attempts have left me with a healthy dose of skepticism.  However,  Her recent successes and help has pulled me through and allowed me to be a first time go. 

   So,  to celebrate, we tested out the latest Founders Ale that has arrived to the far reaches of Iowa.  The Dark Penance!  IT is a rather sour beer with a chocolate sweetness that was meant to counter the bitter hops.   IT does that….Mostly.   I definitely thought that the hops blasted through the sugars.  But it was drinkable and not bad.   At the very least it was interesting, and every time you try a new beer, that is what you are going for.  

Well,  On to scoring!   I wanted to squeeze this post in before I hit any validities that skew my impression and mess up my sense of accomplishment.   Hopefully I will be able to keep this project to its completion.   We shall see.  Hopefully, One beer does not kill to many brains cells.
