Inauguration countdown

It's an important milestone day. No, not the primary results in South Carolina or the caucus results in Nevada.

One year from today at 12 noon, George Bush will no longer be President of the United States.

Life is just a bowl of cherries

Life is just a bowl of cherries.
Don't take it serious; life's too mysterious.
You work, you save, you worry so,
But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go.

So keep repeating it's the berries,
The strongest oak must fall,
The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you've never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries,
So live and laugh at it all.

Labas! My name is Thomas 'Tom' Cizauskas. Among my interests, one which holds my profound attention is beer. I might say that I have a love affair with beer: not simply its tastes — as delicious, complex, and varied as they may be — but its history, science, lore, and evolving creation.

But as a man cannot live on beer alone — although some have tried — I do post on other topics. So, welcome to Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries, where I do indeed write on matters other than beer. I hope that you enjoy what I write and that — even if you disagree with me — you will post your thoughts, replies, and comments.

My other blog is called Yours For Good Fermentables: there I write on beer, and occasionally on wine and whisky.
