You can't take anything with you...

I've spent the past few weeks trying to find stuff I can get rid of...specifically musical stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my musical equipment, no matter what quality. I think the realization is setting in that I am now only a musical hobbyist, and I just have tons of expensive "stuff" crowding my house. That and I could use some money to pay off my van and pay back student loans. With each ebay listing I feel a twinge of sadness as I part with a piece of equipment which has not only been a musical tool, but a part of my songwriting, performance, recording, and overall maturing over the past 10-15 years. My feeling of sadness is mainly overcome by the fact that many of these things have sat in a closet without being looked at for the past few years.

On another note, I found this beer at Publix the other night when looking for things to make and drink for a fancy dinner.

Usually my unique beer finds happen at Total Wine, but I must say that I rather enjoy this beer for it's light and crisp ale flavor. I've always been a fan of Belgian Ales. I was surprised to find that it didn't get very good reviews at Beer Advocate. I usually try to drink a beer before looking at other people's opinions. What happens usually if I like one that doesn't get good reviews is that it starts to taste too sweet to me after a while...maybe that is what will happen with this one. For now I think it's a winner.
