If you happen to be curious about how many possible meanings one word could have, as I was prior to writing this discussion, I encourage a quick google search using the terms “shake” and “definition”. I realize that it will take several moments to read through all of the documented entries provided by Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, […]

Mooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Do you remember how much you enjoyed milk when you were younger? You don’t? Beg your pardon, but I was under the impression that the liquid staple for American children was milk? This may be changing in our current time, but for many decades, milk was the white, opaque, fluid foundation for solid bones and […]
Black Tuesday on a Friday
Am I correct in assuming that we have all heard of the term Black Friday? Every years millions of Americans “celebrate” this day of retail gluttony that follows the day of actual gluttony that is Thanksgiving by swarming malls, big box retail business, colossal stand-alone department stores, and various purveyors of caffeinated beverages, with the […]
Dark Al vs. Sunny Al
In central Pennsylvania, an intense rivalry between two breweries has been heating up for years, and is about to boil over. 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. Michelangelo, Axis […]
Dark of the Forest
Those that know my hobbies and passions, may assume that this article relates to hiking. That wouldn’t be a big stretch, as I have written about the woods, forest, mountains, and nature, on occasion. Those who have read even more of my material, might think this article is about something fantastic, or a short story, […]
10! I give it a 10!
I have enjoyed Springhouse Brewing Company’s beers for a long time. My pseudo-love affair with their offerings began not long after they opened their taproom on King Street in Lancaster, PA. The atmosphere was a little quirky, a little edgy, and a little fun. The unique, imperial pint serving size, and option for half-pint, has […]
The stars look very different
I’m not the biggest David Bowie fan. There, I said it, and cannot take it back. But in all honesty, I haven’t met a tremendous amount of people who claim to be, actual, Bowie “fans.” I won’t argue that he’s a talented musician. I can’t say that he doesn’t have an impressive catalog of music. […]
The Unbent
Though the wind tears upon my face and rips through my clothing, and slices into my skin, Though the rain hammers my scalp, drenches my coverings, and chills me to the bone, Though the sun creates blisters upon my neck, and causes me to shed that which shields my flesh, Though the snow and ice […]
BBA Coffee Stout Flavor Battle
Ahhhh, coffee. That rich, roasty, liquid that one can smell from afar. The invigorating smell of coffee perks one up with just a whiff. The taste of coffee is a little bitter, kind of acidic, a bit earthy, and maybe, with some hints of nuttiness, or some even have fruity notes. Regardless of the flavor […]
Dogfish Head. The World Wide Leader in Stouts.
Yes, I know, this phrase probably sounds incredibly familiar. It doesn’t? I would guess then, reader, that you are not likely to be a sports fan. I admit that I am slightly borrowing the title from ESPN’s signature phrase, “ESPN: The Worldwide Leader in Sports.” But, I am also recognizing the power of such a […]
