My God! It's full of lambic!

This is another shot from the Cantillon brewery in Brussels, this one taken by reverendjim. Have I mentioned that the visit to the brewery was one of the high points of my trip? Did I mention the huge, riveted (not welded), open-air, red copper vat in the attic where they expose their wort to wild yeast? Something I'd been hearing about for years, but it was still awe-inspiring to see this strange and beautifully-crafted machine of human industry, which results in such strange and wonderful brews.

And I am now back from Thanksgiving weekend in Oregon. My travels are behind me for now, although there are almost certainly trips to come in the next year -- three of them in the process of formation even now, including one to Corflu in Sunnyvale, California and one to Worldcon in Reno. This trip was fantastic all along the the long and winding way. It's great to be home. I need to get my head (and my routine) back on and maybe do some writing. For now I'll just post an "angsty album cover" photo, as Jim described it.

How is everyone? I suddenly feel like a stranger here! I need to get regrounded.

So jealous. Sometime come back to Toronto and a bunch of us will do a brewery tours. And maybe eat some good food.

I definitely want to get back to Toronto again (this was my second visit), and breweries and food sound like a good agenda.
