Once again, The Benevolents (The Khmer Rouge (aka Mrs. G-LO) and Benita (aka My Better Half)) had an evening out. They said it was some sort of a fundraiser, but it sure sounded like an excuse to get all of the ladies together to go boozing. In any event, G-LO and […]
Once again, I walked out to the mail box and found that the utility companies still want to be paid for services. G-LO on the other hand found two bottles of Bas-Armagnac. I must live on the wrong block, or maybe the postman is a little sweet on […]
My boy G-LO is a big fan of the cocktail, and on those rare occasions when he’s motivated enough to don his bartender’s cap, he’ll expend a great deal of effort to throw together a respectable and representable version of whatever cocktail he’s been inspired to make. I […]
As I’ve previously noted, I’m a big fan of the beer flight and have had them served to me many different ways. This one time, I had a flight served to me on a paddle. This other time, I had a flight served to me on a ski. […]

A while ago, my beer fridge went kaput. As I have been trying to find someone within my area to repair the box, I was forced to drink some of the stock (I know, poor you!) and move some of the stock into the actual “family” refrigerator. Let’s […]
A long while ago, I bought a bottle of Jefferson’s Reserve Very Old Straight Bourbon. I think it may have been for one of the Wookie’s Derby days, but in the haze of the many, many bottles purchased since then (some for me, some for Pappy, some for under […]
A while ago, I went on a family vacation to Italy. We hit a number of stops in Tuscany and then spent the last few days in Rome. As luck would have it, there was a great liquor store down the street from our hotel in Rome. G-LO […]
With summer winding to a close, we (and by we, I mean Benita, The Urchins, and yours truly) headed up to Vermont for one last trip before school started up again (I really wanted school to start again, but with the seemingly endless stream of homemade lunches, after […]
