Friday potpourri.

Today has been a good day for cyber-housekeeping, as I'm only partially ambulatory after wrecking my bicycle yesterday and taking a solid pavement hit to the knee. Damned leaves.

Being a leg man, King Larry will be happy to know that I still look mighty good in tights. He'd surely notice a bit of swelling ... and also some in my knee.

I've shifted my personal @newalbanian Twitter feed from Potable Curmudgeon to NA Confidential, and replaced it at the beer blog with @nabcnews. This makes more sense, because I tend to tweet about local affairs and politics.

I've also posted a ton of past trip photos at Potable Curmudgeon Inc., my travel/consultancy Facebook page. My proposed 2011 trips: In late June or early July, Bamberg Beercycling (Northern Bavaria), and then in September, Belgian Beer Hunting via motorcoach, including the hop fest in Poperinge. Each will be 7-8 day durations, minimum, and details are forthcoming as I get to them.

I'm rethinking NAC's modified anonymity clause. It strikes me as ridiculous that while Jeff and I possess the cojones to risk "reprisals" (really?) and "damage" to our interests merely by signing our names to what we write, others can take advantage of their fundamental cowardice to lob inanities. Contrary to what these intellectual vandals believe, I highly value discussion held on a level playing field. However, let there be one pseudonymous participant, and it becomes unfair to the ones with genuine integrity. Cowardice cheapens the dialogue. There'll be no "outing," but there may be a change come December 31.

There might be more, but I'm breaking for a beer.
