Marathon

A St. Bernardus Abt label with a drawing of a man in medieval drss holding a chalice of beer in one hand and a pointing finger in the other.
I hope that's what I'm on. If it's a sprint, I'm fucked.

Long view is what I'm all about. That doesn't stop with the present.

Outside of my obsession with Tetley's Mild and St. Bernardus Abt, I am genuinely interested in the wider world of beer. I consume the occasional sludge beer. Admittedly mostly due to inadequate signage. I still drink them. I'm not a monster. Also for research purposes. Know your enemy.

Been good to finish a couple of books this year. And publish them. Another is three-quarters done.. Stuff is getting finished. New books are rolling along.

A long run. I hope that's what I'm on. I'm nowhere near finished with the books I plan on writing.

Unless I drop dead, of course. You can never rule that out at my age.  Here's hoping I have a few more years yet.

from the title, I though you might have been contemplating today's NYC marathon.

I'd be fascinated to see what kind of historical records you could dig up on St. Bernardus and other Abbey Ales, if they even exist. It seems like there's the potential for a fascinating book and the travel might be easier.
