The kids were away, so Mom and Dad get to go out and play! This was the plan… Friday night on South Street in Philly. Dinner at Percy Street BBQ. See The Frames play live at The TLA. I was looking forward to some good BBQ because I […]
This past Monday night, I was cordially invited to Villa dello Alemonger to watch the Eagles/Redskins game on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. In preparation for the evening’s festivities, I walked over to The Foodery during my lunch hour to see if they had anything interesting in stock. I […]

When I become independently wealthy, and no longer have to work for a living, I will definitely spend a few summers in Coastal Maine. My wife and I spent a week sailing around the Penobscot Bay on a windjammer that sailed out of Camden, and we also spent a few days […]

I know I know. Yet another Saison/Farmhouse Ale review. I just can’t get away from this stuff! I’d never heard of Goose Island Beer Company till I dropped by the Alemonger’s house to watch some Monday Night Football. As luck would have it, the Chicago Bears were playing […]
