      <description>Beer Maps</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
The <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cask-USA/">Cask USA list</a> recently highlighted a couple of custom Google maps for good beer:
<ul>
  <li><a href="http://www.cask-ale.co.uk/us/cask-beer-finder-america.html">Alex Hall</a> (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;gl=us&amp;g=95+Nassau+Avenue,+Brooklyn,+NY+11222-3211&amp;q=http:%2F%2Fmaps.google.com%2Fmaps%2Fms%3Fhl%3Den%26gl%3Dus%26ie%3DUTF8%26oe%3DUTF8%26msa%3D0%26msid%3D111962480369481257985.0004832e98131a56b1617%26ll%3D43.504298,-109.050427%26spn%3D0.904432,1.755066%26z%3D9%26output%3Dkml&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=43.504303,-106.733732&amp;spn=35.430558,86.326145">direct</a>)</li>
  <li><a href="http://www.nerax.org/caskmap.html">NERAX</a> (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=109327714079332668633.000484fc5a5ea16aec7fe&amp;ll=43.028745,-70.97168&amp;spn=3.854849,7.03125&amp;z=7&amp;source=embed">direct</a>)</li>
</ul>
These are both great resources. Now if only Google and/or Apple would make custom maps easier to use on the iPhone&hellip;<br/><br/>

      <description>Do you know the way to Oxford Street?</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
After this week's class, I spent the weekend in London. There were a large number of tourists for mid-February, probably thanks to the weak pound. I was stopped on the street four or five times by people looking for directions to the British Museum - possibly for the exhibit on <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/the_museum/news_and_press_releases/press_releases/2009/shah_abbas.aspx" target="_blank">Shah 'Abbas</a>?
<br/><br/>
I didn't go into any museums at all, on this trip; the weather was nice, so mostly I walked around and re-visited favorite pubs.
<br/><br/>

Before the class started in Reading, I took a walk in the National Trust area near Sonning. There was still a little snow on the ground, but the weather was warm and dry.
<br/><br/>

They say this was the coldest day in London for at least 10 years. Walking around by the Thames, I wouldn't argue.

It was raining at home, so we drove to Pasadena for the New Years party. The weather was as nice as I've ever seen it.

Sorry, that was Canterbury in 2006. Anyway, I can't help thinking that these three signs are related, somehow.

      <description>Viking Kitchen</description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
"What do you feel like for lunch?" I asked Matt. "How about Viking?" he answered. "We haven't had Viking for a while."
<br/><br/>
It's been a few years, but here I am at the Viking Kitchen on Walmgate, in York.
<br/><br/>
<a href="/blogofile/images/wp-content/2008/10/viking-kitchen.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-361" title="viking-kitchen" src="/blogofile/images/wp-content/2008/10/viking-kitchen-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>
<br/><br/>
Where's Matt?<br/><br/>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
I had to spring Angie out of the joint, tonight. I let her out at 09:30, and they called me around 17:00 - 60 minutes before closing time. She'll have to work off the $30 bail.
<br/><br/>
<a href="/blogofile/images/wp-content/2008/06/evangelia-phs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-357" title="mug shot" src="/blogofile/images/wp-content/2008/06/evangelia-phs-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>
<br/><br/>
I'm not sure why she was picked up. From talking to the young lady at the PHS, I gather that some neighbor decided she was a stray, brought her inside, and panicked because she wouldn't eat anything. Well, she'd had breakfast already.
<br/><br/>
We'll see how long the collar lasts, this time.<br/><br/>

I was in Washington DC for the occasion of O. Eric's 40th birthday, which entailed excellent wine and a good time all around. Along the way, we dropped by the cherry blossom festival.
