L'histoire de sa vie
http://www.nathan-miller.com
My blog is entitled “L’histoire de sa vie” which is French for “his life story” It is a phrase my grandmother used to use when someone went on for too long about nothing. She might have asked a question, but the response was far more information than she needed, so she’d say to someone nearby that the answerer was giving her “l’histoire de sa vie.”
L'histoire de sa vie is basically that in a nutshell: more information than needed on amusing, usually ridiculous happenings in my life.

Fireplace Contraband #2
Last night, I opened the first bottle of Fireplace Contraband #2, my second homebrew creation. The beer is a doppelbock, about which I’ve previously posted. It is very dark, quite strong, and, for only my second creation, successful. I brewed it u...
