New Computer and Hobbie

I have a new computer up and running and should be able to post much more frequently. I have also just purchased new software that will help me construct crossword puzzles. Look for for my first puzzle over the next few days. If all goes well it will pertain to local beer bloggers.

Cheers,
Kevin
