Up and down Beer Mountain
Those that know me know that I like to climb mountains. I would consider my interest in hiking to approach the level of enthusiast.

The Journey of a Thousand Sips
The meaning of the word expedition is: an excursion, journey, or voyage made for some specific purpose, as of war or exploration.

It is a rivalry of epic proportions, contending with those having historical impact. It’s Coke vs. Pepsi, Apple vs. Microsoft, Edison vs. Tesla, North vs. South, Hamilton vs. Burr, Da Vinci Vs.

It’s one that I’ve had on many earlier occasions, but time between its reemergence seems to become greater as the years pass.
