we've got the biggest balls of them all.

okay, so dating an italian boyfriend has meant many things to me... first, everything has cheese and pasta and sauce and lots of carbohydrates. second, a sauce isn't a sauce unless it's been cooked all day. third, anchovies are your salty little friend (sorry, i can't get past the little hairy monsters). but the best thing is that dating an italian boyfriend means that he knows how to play bocce. why is this good? because on september 16th & 17th we will be travelling to deleware... to play in the 1st annual dogfish head craft brewery & beeradvocate.com intergalatic invitational bocce tournament and ml and christine will be joining us to complete our team of four.

dude how cool is that? it's way cool. and lucky for us jim is a bocce pro... it's in his blood. but now we have to decide on a team name. we've got a couple, but we need to get a good one... "the big lebocce", "hops & robbers", "hop heads"?? which one to choose? all i know is that we need to get our game on and get a good team, but the good prizes are for the ones that win the bocce tournament... so i think it might be time to set up a makeshift bocce court in the driveway.

on the way back from the tournament we are planning on hitting up iron hill brewery, and hopefully they will have their tripel on tap that christine has been drooling over since we went to belgium comes to cooperstown last month.

oh, and since this blog is new... and this is my first post, i guess if i have a beer in my hand i should say what it is.

drinking :: bell's two hearted ale.
