St. Louis, Confessor

The pious queen of France, Blanche, educated her son Louis IX to be a model for all kings in his faith, courage, and love of justice. He undertook two crusades to reconquer the Holy Land. The plague, which decimated his army in Africa, struck him down and he died at Tunis. This most Christian king reigned from 1226 to 1270.

The big news from Gaming today is that I bought a six-pack of Kaiser Bier from the Spar today. So, just to make you all jealous...

John, Kaiser is good, but make your next purchase one of the 4-packs of the Weiselburger Stambrau. Weiselburger Gold is good as an everyday beer, but Stambrau is the flagship of the Wieselburger line and it holds a special place in my heart.

Rest assured I will most certainly do so. Thank you for the kind recommendation.
