Several years ago, when we first started up this here blog, we were having issues with any whisky that came from a distillery whose name began with the letter “T”. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was a Tamdhu (we called it “Tam-don’t”) and a […]
In a prior post, I noted how G-LO and I try to exemplify the great parents that we are by getting our boys together for a little fun on the weekend. On this particular day, while the boys were doing their thing, G-LO and I had an opportunity to […]
It’s once again time for the Brewer’s Plate, a major fundraising event for Fair Food, an organization dedicated to bringing healthy local food to the marketplace while promoting a humane and sustainable agriculture system for the region.
