In all my years moderating this newsgroup, I have rarely allowed off-topic posts. So this is a rare exception afforded only to those I know are fans of neither the Noo Yawk damnyankees nor the inhabitants of the Wrigley Graveyard.
I receved an e-mail today that I passed the Mead Judge Exam and I am elated. From a tax standpoint, my only revenue is a free lunch, but I do get 14 cents a mile to judge at 501(c)(3) events.
And yes Harlan, I was referring to you, ;)

Congratulations, Dick. Now will you be permitted to judge your own beer? ___ Stu
Judging mead and driving too. Hmmmmm.
Conratulations, Dick.
And congratulations to whoever convinced IRS that Mead judging was a c(3) activity :^)

Congratulations, Dick! And drive safely!
Congratulations.
Does the activity qualify as "educational", "scientific", or "testing for public safety"?

I no longer drive. Just drink.
Thanks,
Dick
