I rejoined the Fitness Crossroad, the neighborhood gym about a month ago and have yet to make it a regular part of my schedule.

What’s it take to get me podcasting again? How about Danish brewery Mikkeller putting poop-ed out coffee in their beer. Yep. That’ll do it. First Crack 121. Drink Beer from a Cat’s Butt: Tasting of Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Brunch
