Limpd: So, we finally got through the work/kids distraction and had a chance to visit the New Liberty Distillery. It seems like we haven’t had a chance to visit anyone the past couple years, so I really look forward to these excursions! I know they make a whiskey […]
When one travels the majestic New Jersey and Pennsylvania highways and byways (now pothole free!) with G-LO (also now pothole free!), the sights are never-ending. The Great Rust Belt is now but a skinny tie, but many of the skeletons still sit, waiting to be turned into hipster […]
There’s been much written about Disney’s re-imagination of their theme parks; now heavy on Star Wars, the Marvel Universe, and lower admission prices very light on Mickey Mouse. Folks travel from near and far to “The Happiest Place On Earth” (not to be confused with OUR happiest place […]
So here’s a mystery for you… Why the hell haven’t we attended The Twisted Tail’s Whiskey Bonanza before??? Sure, we’ve been to bigger whiskey events over the years, but few have had the vibe of this one. From the charming and rustic venue to the super enthusiastic bartenders and […]

If you’ve ever read Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity (or even seen the film, which is pretty faithful to the book except for the fact they they made all of the characters American and moved the location from London to Chicago), then you know that lists play a pretty […]
Limpd and I had two options yesterday afternoon: Option #1: Stay at work and toil away at our mostly thankless jobs until 5pm. Or later! Option #2: Leave a little early to attend a behind-the-scenes preview tour of a new brew pub in Center City Philadelphia. As evidenced […]
On Thursday, June 7, 2018, the good people of the Jewish Whisky Company once again hosted the “Mother of all Whisky Events”, the NYC Whisky Jewbilee. This would be the seventh time that this event would descend upon Midtown Manhattan, and while the main event began at 7PM […]
When Mrs. Satellite Engineer came up with Scotland as a Spring Break destination for us and the teenage daughters, my first thoughts went quickly to Islay. That idyllic island on the west coast is forever in my mind after three days there with the Single Cask Nation (SCN) […]
