That beer bar was nice, although you were more a fan of the waitress than I was.

Going to be in Seattle from the 17th-19th, so if anyone is around there and wants to hang out either the night of the 17th or 18th, let me know. Or if anyone just has some suggestions of places to eat/drink around downtown (I'll be around Amazon HQ I think), let me know what you suggest!

Yuengling ('ying-ling) is the local beer, and about the only thing I miss about Eastern PA.

I prefer Troeg's to Yuengling, honestly. They're in Hershey.

Yuengling has been on tap in every bar I've been to in florida.  it's not a local PA thing anymore.

They produce 2.5mil barrels of beer a year, the exact same listed production as Samuel Adams. So they're both 'technically' microbrews. And according to Wikipedia, Yuengling has two breweries in PA and one in Tampa FL, which may explain its popularity there.

I'm some kind of beer hipster over here liking a national brand I thought was niche.

Yuengling has been everywhere I've ever been in Florida for as long as I've been drinking beer. It's usually my go to beer when I'm out because in most places it's the only non-shitty beer they have (Bud, Miller, Coors, Yuengling - one of these is not like the other).

Next week: Moses Lake, WA (3 hours east of Seattle)
Thanksgiving week: Ruffs Dale, PA (45 minutes southeast of Pittsburgh)
Thanksgiving weekend: Chicago, IL

I was supposed to have to go to Israel next year but my co-engineer poached the job from me. I'm hoping I have the opportunity to shit on him from a great height at some point in the future.

Just punch him in the face next time you see him, its easier than carrying a grudge.

Over the next year I will be in Dublin, St Thomas, San Juan, St Marten, Grand Turk, and Iceland. Any tips?

Drink the local specialties in each of them, and when you are in Iceland try Hákarl. You probably wont like it and will violently vomit when eating it, but hey you get to say you tried it.

Hákarl

The F-Word: Gordon Ramsay vs James May

Not on business, but I'm about an hour an half north west of Philly for the week.  I think I might actually have some free time tomorrow. 

[rumbot]

I'm not sure, but I think the private message I just sent might be misconstrued as sexting a newlywed.

[Mission Difficult]

In Phoenix for Christmas.
