MillerCoors, the second-largest U.S. brewer by revenue, has begun testing the 1.5-gallon "Home Draft" for its biggest brands -- Miller Lite and Coors Light -- in about a half-dozen cities, including Dallas, Phoenix and San Diego. The boxed product, which is designed to fit into refrigerators for drinkers to consume periodically, rather than for one-time party use, comes amid packaging overhauls by the U.S. units of Heineken NV and Anheuser-Busch InBev NV.

( 3.2 / 11 )We just had a pretty good weekend. We got a lot done, such as stripping paint and sanding areas of the outside of our house, buying and installing a new kitchen light, moving an extra desk into the garage and making room for it, etc. All things that needed to be done, and we got them done.
We also watched the movie 7 Pounds , and we really enjoyed it. This was on the heels of Punisher : War Zone, which was easliy the worst movie I've seen all year. We also bought two DVDs of trucks (monster or otherwise) that are so campy that even Alex barely enjoyed them.
Most exciting though was our trip to the Ren Faire . I hoped Alex would have a good time and he did. We ate many fantastic things including a beef, pork, cheese and portabella mushroom sausage with onions and mustard, and some fried mac'n'cheese. The weather was great and there were several kids areas which Alex loved running around in. We'll post pictures of that soon.
We were unable to attend the Jebe annual swim meet at Fred's house this weekend. We were sorry to miss everyone but I just don't think Alex is quite ready for a 5.5 hour car trip two days in a row yet. Maybe once we get a car DVD player.

( 3 / 10 )It's a great week to be standing where I'm standing. Wisconsin is taking top honors all over the place, proving to the world that we are in fact better than anyone else. Here is the evidence:
1. A Milwaukee Brewer won the home run derby at the MLB All Star games
2. New Berlin was rated one of the top places in the nation to live
3. Today is my Dad's birthday
What more proof could you need? Are you thinking of moving into my neighborhood now?

( 3.2 / 13 )My friend from Michigan was in town this past weekend. I spent the whole weekend at Noah's so that we could all party, and party we did. We ate a lot of pulled pork did four brewey tours , and had a ton of fun. It's always good to see him.
However, me being away means Carrie spent the entire weekend alone with Alex. It wasn't that bad but she needs a break now. Seems like she'll get a break or maybe two this weekend.
I found out that we'll all (Alex included) be going to spend a week at the Lighthouse Resort this summer. It's going to be great. We'll all stay in a cabin for a week using the rented boats and such to fish, swim, and relax. I love spending time with my parents and sister, and this is the best way to do it.
If you know any one who wants to buy a wieght bench or some turn tables let me know.

Things have been good. We had two birthday parties last weekend, and both were a lot of fun. The first was a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party for my friend Nate’s 2 year old son. There were a lot of kids and plenty of things to keep children happy. Alex had a great time. The second party was for Carrie’s dad. We got to see Alex’s cousin and eat some delicious food . Summer is officially great.This weekend we’ll get to take Alex to Carrie’s mother’s boyfriend’s farm for 4th of July festivities. Also, my cousin Allison is moving into the state and I’m hoping we get to see her. My sister and Aunt are both moving into new homes and I haven’t been able to help. I’m eager to see both places and maybe that can happen too. We’ll see.
I added a link to the menu over to the right that allows you to play the classic Nintendo game Base Wars right on my blog. It’s great and I’m great at playing it. Be glad you can’t play against me online because you would lose .
Carrie has been on a painting frenzy lately. She painted the foyer / hallway and just finished the kitchen. It looks fantastic. Kudos to Carrie! I’d say she deserves chicken and Chi-Chis .
Also of note, my friend Noah lost of pitching wedge somewhere between his house and mine. I somehow lost my favorite hat which pronounced me an official member of the United States Beer Drinking Team . If you see either please report their location to me as soon as possible.

( 3.2 / 12 )Alex has really been enjoying the outdoors on the nice days we've had. He enjoys playing in his pool, pushing his toy lawnmower around the drive way (which is grass free), and picking up every pinecone he can find. It's very different from last summer, and a welcome change for Carrie.
I got to play my first round of golf yesterday. I need more practice, but it was a great time. I went with two people from work who did about the same as me, so there was no pressure. I even got some much needed sun. IT guys are naturally very white.
