At least ideas to better track and prevent loss.
I’ve always felt that bars are something like a classroom, minus the grumpy teacher. I learn something – a joke, some trivia and something about beer – practically every time I stop for a drink.

I love my iPhone!
After holding out for a year or so (actually, being too cheap to buy it) I finally splurged and bought one. There were several reasons I had for this purchase; I was tired of my old phone, a company discount made the price attractive, and Christmas was coming. I also wanted access to my BeerAdvocate account since I try and pick up beers on my friend’s want lists.
