It was that time of year again, when I needed to buy Pappy his Whisky Advent calendar. So, as a dutiful son, off to Master of Malt I went! While I was perusing the Advent calendar selections, I thought.. You know. Since I’m here and all. And since […]
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 […]
Summer Vacation 2015. Another trip to Maine? No! Six days in Gatlinburg, TN plus one day in Nashville… The majority of our time in Gatlinburg was spent exploring Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Zip-lining. Hiking. Driving around. Riding the rides at Dollywood. Watching the sunset from our cabin’s […]
It’s Word Association Day at Booze Dancing central! Here goes… Agave? Tequila! Grapefruit? Paloma! Paloma? Yes, Paloma. A delightfully refreshing cocktail made with Tequila and a grapefruit based soda, served over ice with a wedge of lime. That’s what popped into my head when I saw the label on the […]

Death By Coconut. This should be the title for the final episode of a Gilligan’s Island re-boot. I’m thinking a 13 episode mini-series for Netflix or Amazon Prime, written by David Lynch and directed by Michel Gondry. The cast would be as follows: Jason Segal as Gilligan John Carroll […]
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 […]
There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying, “I don’t know”. In a world filled with “experts”, I find it refreshing when someone is honest enough to know the limits of their knowledge or skill set. “I don’t know” was the subject of a 2014 Freakonomics podcast titled “The […]
