Once again G-LO ventured out to the mailbox and brought in his most recent bit of boozemail. The fine folks at Iron Hill had gifted him their most recent canned creation, the Crusher Session IPA. Shortly after mail call, he saw me outside watching the urchins and noticed […]
It all started this past 4th of July weekend… Benita (aka My Better Half, aka The Mother of My Lovely Children) surveyed the beer inventory and found that I had too much beer (is that really a problem???). Apparently, there was a shortage of space for GoGurts and […]

For this year’s Spring Break boondoggle, Benita, the Urchins, and I headed out to Las Vegas for a few days before we ventured up to Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah. I once again realized that the Urchins are not in line to be the Dragon Warrior as they cannot survive on the dew […]
