Unibroue Chambly Noire

I was so pleased with the beer I had last night that I thought I would try another bottle of Unibroue. I purchased a bottle of Chambly Noire. I am not as impressed with this beer. It has the awesome bubbly effervescent sparkle that I love in a bottle fermented beer but it has thin body compared to what I had last night. It doesn't have the sweet undertones that the Trois Pistoles has but it is dark and has a clean taste.

I'm In Three Year Old Hell

I know that what I am experiencing is pretty normal, or at least I hope it is. Trying to put my 3 year old twins to bed causes a LOT of mental anguish on the child's part and the parent's. Both twins always demand that mommy put them to bed and if I carry our son to his room he is screaming at the top of his lungs for his mother. Of course his mother has to tend to his twin who also demands that mommy put her to bed.

If you let the male twin in the same room with the female twin while mommy is putting her to sleep the male twin is bouncing off the walls and knocking shit over while screaming so then the female twin will not settle down and go to sleep. Thus I am forced to remove the male twin from the room and take him to his room producing from him the most unpleasant writing, screaming, kicking, crying and fit pitching one could imagine.

I have tried a small light spank on the rear just to get the boy's attention but only after positivie reinforcemnt fails. Of course the negative reinforcement doesn't work either so when I put the male twin in his bed and try to cover him up he immediately jumps off the bed and bolts for his sister's room where his mother is.

I have to keep reminding myself that he is just three. But this is difficult when it happens EVERY night and it will continue to happen EVERY night until he grows out of it.

I need a beer.

Excellent Beer

I love good beers. I am drinking a bottle of Trois Pistoles by Unibroue. It is a bottle fermented beer with 9% alcohol. It tastes really bubbly and full bodied with a full mouth feel (does that also mean full bodied) and I just love the taste. One 750 ml bottle cost me about $7 and had made me feel really good tonight while I sit here watching Star Trek the Next Generation and browsing on the net with this shitty internet connection at our beach condo in North Myrtle Beach. The connection keeps dropping out.

I gotta pee.
