This year’s summer vacation was spent just outside Smoky Mountain National Park (we also spent a night in Nashville, but that’s the subject of another not yet written blog post). On night number one of our vacation, after getting the wife and kids settled in to our cabin with […]

As I was drinking this beer at “The Murder Table” (that’s what Limpd calls the island in our newly renovated kitchen), I kept asking myself, “What’s a grunion?”. It turns out that a grunion is a type of fish which is indigenous to Southern California and northern Baja […]
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 starts up again (Yay! School is finally on the horizon). While enjoying the great outdoors in Smugglers’ Notch, I found myself […]
