I learned something this week. It’s something that I probably should have known…but I didn’t. I feel shame for that. I take great pride in my knowledge of all manners of esoteric facts and figures, but this one slipped past my radar.
Drumroll please….
May…is…ZOMBIE AWARENESS MONTH!
Are you now aware? I know I am! Well played…May. Continue reading

This morning I had to do something that I really hated to do. It’s not something that I do very often, though I should probably do it more regularly than I do.
I, Seth Treptow, threw away…an old pair of underwear.
It’s nothing I’m particularly proud of.
I don’t know when this particular pair of underwear came into my life, but it had probably in rotation for several years. It was never the fanciest of pairs. Just your standard cotton boxer briefs. You know, the ones that come in a four pack from Hanes. Far from elegant, but more than capable of getting the job done. During its time of service, it had performed incredibly admirably, always without fail. It supported my junk and absorbed my funk with the best of them. And for that, I am extremely appreciative.
But over the last few cycles of wearing, I have noticed that this pair, which I will affectionately refer to henceforth as “Old Blue,” had become increasingly holy. And by holy, I don’t mean religious…not like those super sexy undergarments the Mormons sport. No. I mean that Old Blue was getting tattered and worn beyond the point of functional usefulness.

Hey America! I’m talking to you! It’s time to wake up!
This morning, while doing my usual perusal of the internet, I came across something that really irked me. While I am fully cognizant of the fact that it doesn’t take much to leave me feeling a bit perturbed, this one actually stung a bit.
If you have even a shred of decency within you, you too will feel my outrage.
I present to you…”American Theme Parties.”

As Justin teased in his last post, the three guys behind Regular Guy Brewing have finally reached a point where we are in pretty solid agreement about a game plan for transitioning from a home brewery to a professional operation. We have set a goal for ourselves. Now we just need to fine tune our business plan and track down some money.
Take this as a warning family and friends. I will be hitting you up for support in the not too distant future.
We’ve talked over quite a few options since the idea first came to us to start our own brewery. We crunched a few numbers here and there, and a few even crunched us back. It’s still too early to go into the specifics of our plan (wouldn’t want to jinx anything) but I think the three of us feel pretty darn good about it.
At any rate, thoughts of the future have set the wheels of my mind turning, imagining the various ways that life will be different. One major change. Goodbye office.
I’m not one to complain about my job (too much) but after nearly nine years of sitting behind a computer at a desk five days a week, it will be quite the change to have to roll up my sleeves everyday and get my hands dirty. It’s a change that I am very much looking forward to.
And that’s where my thoughts have transitioned to a different kind of office that I am looking forward to saying farewell to. That being the NBC sitcom – appropriately titled, “The Office.” Continue reading
