Keg at Charlie Mikes,,,,,

Saturday the 20th of Feb I will have a keg of Blue Moon on tap at Charlie Mikes in celebration of graduating the Q Course for the second time. I will proudly walk the graduation stage friday at 39 years young, and thereby complete my midlife crisis.

There will NOT be a third time,,,,, ( My feet still hurt from Frost Nip,,)

All in all I have to report that the Q Course of today is nothing like the training I received back in 1995. I have to take my hat off to the instructors, cadre, and contractors that have gone over board to train a better brighter Q Course grad. The Q is much better than before, and I hope it continues to improve.

Oh! And I almost forgot,,,,,,

You should see the nifty little blade I was issued!!!!!!!

Are you going to give us a time or do we just go there when it opens up?
