All the rage are ipas in the craft beer community. I am an extreme fan as well. There is something delightful about this fresh tasting, bitter, and sometimes mildly sweet drink. Where once the lager dominated in the beer scene, ipas have taken over. Who stands in line for the newest lager from Russian River? […]
Straight up Res
Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is creative thinking. Sometimes the simplest answer is the best choice. Sometimes the best way to put the nail in the wood is to just pick up a hammer and pound it in. And sometimes I just have to deliver a straight-up, no-frills, honest-to-goodness beer review. Hi-Res […]
ZKD
Not that the idea has been neglected in the past, but recently zombies have been quite the topic. I assume the pulsing light from the thought box that has arrested the minds of the masses has something to contribute to this. I, of course, specifically blame the Walking Dead show. It seems to have created […]
Craft Beer Day(Care) Tripper
At the behest of a most lovely female, an excursion was planned around cupcakes. The impetus being an apparently highly sought after cupcake brand called, Scratch cupcakes, located in Ephrata. The thought of cupcakes, admittedly, doesn’t blow my hair back. Ergo, I sought to bundle this activity with an item of which I have great […]
Feel the Rainbow
In the act of maintenance, a short time ago, I read upon a screen a fine direction. “Eat the Rainbow.” This directive emanated from a help guru of the Dr. Oz variety via a low brain wave show resembling Rachael Ray. The specific expert and precise show were so indiscernible from the repeated mass messages beamed into […]
Perpetuity
admittedly I am feeling no strong compulsion to write. Though my failure to write is essentially an admission of a lack of commitment to this blog which I intend to maintain. I’m not sure how long I intend to write such a thing. It currently resembles the doldrums like phase of a relationship. Once the initial […]
HAVE A NICE DAY!
How often do you hear this on a given day? If you are similar to myself and have an average of 3-4 interactions per day at a retail or food establishment, the chances are that you hear these words quite often. The cashier at the grocery store fires off the statement as you collect your […]
Swan Song
A colleague recommended this epic tome several years ago with high praise. This book is a 900 page journey set in the wake of nuclear apocalypse. It chronicles the experiences of several scattered characters across a wasteland America as they struggle to find others, to determine their destiny, and simply survive in arduous circumstances. Robert McCammon […]
4 New Reviews
My first few reviews are from recent experience at the Brass Rail Deli. To be truthful, only two of the four are from the affectionately monikered “The Rail”. The remainder were from home. Free Will’s C.O.B – This one was categorized as a coffee oatmeal brown. To be truthful the coffee was the predominant factor […]
Waitress – Solicitous Saint or Salacious Seductress?
A sincere and singularly salubrious thought sears my synapses. What it the real role of the waitress? Reasonably, this is also applicable to the waiter. Though society is less likely to consider the sexualization of said stint. If there were not a degree of seduction involved in the serving process, would it not be more economical […]
