JACK: Hi Lloyd. A little slow tonight, isn’t it? LLOYD: Yes, it is, Mr. Torrance. What’ll it be? JACK: Now I’m awfully glad you asked me that, Lloyd, because I just happen to have two twenties and two tens right here in my wallet. I was afraid they were going to be there until next April.

So I’m minding my own business two weeks ago (something I do far more often than many are willing to believe) when G-LO lets me know that he’s been invited to attend Fair Food Philly’s gala 10th Anniversary Brewer’s Plate Event at the Kimmel Center. He and Limpd […]
Believe it or not, Winter 2014 is rapidly coming to a close. We’ve already “sprung forward” and moved the clocks ahead an hour, and in just two short days, the first day of spring will be upon us. Little league baseball practice has already begun, the G-LO family’s […]

The other day, G-LO stopped over for a quick beer (and then a whole lot of whiskey). I have noticed that he brings a beer to taste, writes up some notes and then passes them over to me. I am beginning to suspect that he is sneaking in […]
While doing a bit of research for this blog post, I stumbled upon the following quote by Leonardo da Vinci: Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Simple and sophisticated is the perfect way to describe a well crafted Old-Fashioned. A cube of sugar, a few dashes of Bitters, a […]
Cowboys, lassos. cattle drives, and wide open prairies. That’s what comes to mind when I hear the word ranch. I also get visions of Robert Duvall in Lonesome Dove asking poor Diane Lane for a poke… As it turns out, I am completely off base. Hop Ranch has […]
