The following is a series of emails about the 2014 Whisky Jewbilee (and other sundry topics) between myself and Limpd… _________________________________________ G-LO: Whew! Looks like we dodged another bullet. I thought for sure that baseball and softball schedules would interfere with our latest NYC Whisky Excursion! While I […]
Recently, in an effort to expand my beer horizons, I had G-LO over to debate the merits of smoked beers. I had picked up two beautiful bottles from Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla. The first was the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock which I found to be fantastic. The second is the […]
The following conversation occurred 4 weeks ago… Mrs. Limpd: Hey! Do you still have that Apple Bourbon stuff? Let’s give it a try. G-LO: You can try it, but only if you take some tasting notes. Mrs. Limpd: Don’t you ever just drink to drink? G-LO: Of course I […]
After my recent foray into a blueberry beer with the Wachusett Blueberry Ale, I picked up another one to see if my impressions were the same. I selected a bottle from Fegley’s Brew Works; partly for the name, the Blueberry Belch and partly for the pretty graphics on […]

While in Cape Canaveral, Florida. I found a need for liquid refreshment and turned to the Liquor store next to the local Publix. As I have noted a number of times, I don’t really do any research and usually select a bottle based on its label art and name; the prettier the bottle […]
Real Dads mind the Arancini during New Year’s Eve celebration prep and proudly wear silly aprons while they do it cause wearing the silly apron is better than getting a tough to remove grease stain on their shirt. Happy Father’s Day!
A while ago, G-LO came over with his boys. While they scampered around the yard, G-LO and I took up our post on The Barthenon (I mean as good parents keeping a watchful eye over our children, where else would we go?). Anyway, we sat around the table […]
My son is your typical middle-aged teenager. His room is decorated in early Nuclear Devastation. He watches too much TV, plays too many video games, hasn’t met a chore that he likes, and has to dig pretty deep to say anything nice to his sisters. But he’s […]
