I laid off between 1992 and 2006. Fourteen f*****g years! Because I got married and had kids, so it wasn't all bad, but in 2006 she said adios. And I said don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!
After she left I went all grain. Something I always wanted to do, but didn't have the knowledge or an accomplice. I got custody of the kids (she was a complete flake!), and they thought brewing was cool. My oldest has joined the club and contributed brew to the local events. The youngest likes beer, but is still thinking about it.
The family that brews together! (or something
)
