This page is dedicated to one of life's more delicate indulgences, beer. The following quotes were sent to me by one of my climbing partners, Michael "did you know my last name is a body part" Dong. Michael obviously knows me well. To all you dedicated beer drinkers of the world, Scholl!


Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true, than be selfish and worry about my liver. And doggone it, people like beer!"
