I enjoyed sampling some nicely aged Bent beer at the Bentfest in Stickman's driveway Saturday afternoon. Me sums up the Bentfest (photos here): "I just got back home from Bentfest and had a great time. I also now have a coveted stick made my Stickman. I didn't tell Stickman tonight, but should have - I have been looking at walking sticks all over on our travels, almost purchasing one a few times - but I always stopped myself because I wanted one from Stickman - now I have one!!! Bent and his wife were there, Stickman, Cindy, Jeanie and Mechanic Man, Florine and DFO stopped by and brought his daughters boyfriend as well. The fire was warm and it was so nice to finally meet some of the Merry Hucksters!" Also, Florine is beginning to talk about Blogfest 2010, which happens in mid-February. All in good time. Before then, we need to put an end to the November Coeur d'Alene election without end amen. We'll try to do that Monday. For today, I'll play this Wild Card and get rested for another big week ...
