Advertising and public relations is a funny business. Sometimes their work is incredibly obvious (like when you get an invite to the launch of whatever product they are working to promote). Other times, their work is not so obvious. Below is a for instance of their not so […]
In early November, Mrs. G-LO, The Boys, and I went on a four night cruise aboard Holland America Line’s (HAL) brand new ship, the ms Koningsdam. Although the ship launched this past April, our cruise was this ship’s maiden voyage in the United States. A couple weeks prior […]
Let us consider the glass. A mere vessel to enjoy liquid libations. It all started innocently enough three million years ago. Two hairy hands with scraped knuckles and opposable thumbs cupped together reached down into that little stream behind the cave and brought up thirst quenching water to […]
About a month ago, I received an email from The Baddish Group. They asked if I’d be interested in whipping up a frozen cocktail recipe which incorporated Fernet Branca. Now I’m no bartender, but when presented with the opportunity to dabble in the cocktail making arts, I rarely pass it […]

Way back in late November, Mrs. G-LO and I had a pre-theater lunch at a Center City Philadelphia bar called Strangelove’s. For you theater lovers out there, we went to see The Book of Mormon. Mrs. G-LO loved it, while I found it to be mildly amusing. It’s […]
A couple of weeks ago, we received two sample bottles of Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer. Since I already reviewed this grown-up soda, I decided that I’d try it in a cocktail. The obvious cocktail choice would have been a Dark’N’Stormy or a Moscow Mule, but I decided to […]
