Jeff and I were discussing a little dilemma we’ve been having lately. Joel has been getting sick far too frequently. And his sniffles always coincide with Mondays, which leaves Jeff and I running around like madmen trying to get the brewing accomplished.

It’s not like Joel isn’t doing anything. He’ll send an email every now and then. Something like, “Guys, I hate to do this, but I’m still trying to get over this polio. I might not make it to brewing tonight.” And he’ll order supplies for us online, as long as we tell him exactly where on the screen to click. And Joel has actually been doing a great job not infecting us (or the beer) with his strange, sickly cooties.

But the bottom line is that we’re in a down economy. And would love to cut costs. There isn’t anything Joel is doing for us now that can’t be done remotely. We could easily hire cheaper overseas labor to not infect us. And to send us cryptic last minute cancellation emails. So we put the vote to you.

Just kidding Joel, we love you. But don’t push your luck this Monday.
