A word from the "where are they now?" department

Betsey just phoned me to share a bit of WTF? into my life. She gets the Great Lakes Brewing Company newsletter (for reasons that escape me, because they don't ship their beers to Boston any more than they ship 'em here), and opening the current issue, she found that their "spotlight on employee" feature was on someone I went to school with (she recognized the name, as his elder sister was in her class). It seems that he's their head of warehouse production, which going by the description equals "quartermaster": making sure the right quantities of hops and malt and whatnot come in, and the right quantities of beer go out to the right places. And before that, he was a lumberjack.

Gennaro the lumberjack. Weird enough, and plus, who the fuck knew we even had lumberjacks in Ohio? This is surreal on so many different levels; I love it.

In other news, the reorganization of my dresser proceeds apace, thank you; and Steve has just left to pick up [livejournal.com profile] naudia from the hospital.
