Mark: Feb. 27, 2008, the first cardinal of the year, hopping in a tree outside my kitchen window, sounds off at 8:39 a.m. I dare say we've turned the corner, folks. Only eight more weeks of winter.
Capping off my Weekend Adventure in Beer, the men pulled themselves together this morning to bottle 15 gallons of beer and brew 10 more.
