SugarFree was busy, so you've got stuck with my filler piece today from the Substack. As craft beer declines, wine sales slump, and spirit sales collapse, there’s one sector of the drink industry that is experiencing growth. That’s the RTD (Ready To Drink) cocktail...
This is the last Friday before you the money gets taken out to feed the beast (I'm getting hit with an ~$10 underpayment penalty... dicks). I'll say that I don't mind Deep Eddy (for gins being marketed as vodka). Their Ruby Red Grapefruit is amazing... as long as you...
While it's the home opener for the Guardians Indians today, the girlfriend is both upset and happy. Upset because there's no Bananaball for her to watch this weekend, happy because her name got pulled in the ticket lottery, so it appears we're going to a game in...
So, instead of listening to me, and going out and finding something fun to do, you've decided to come back here. Welcome back! There were some birthdays today, some sports stuff happened, and there's trouble in the world around us. So let's dance while it all burns....
First, apologies as I will not be around for the comments. So feel free to insert your own [This link intentionally left blank] where you see fit. To start with the big one, yes, there's a sales tax "holiday" here in Ohio. Basically, anything under $500 that's not a...
One of the laziest excuses for drinking is here, Christmas in July. Local breweries brew up a batch or two of their Christmas ale, people put kegs they've held onto since December on tap, decorations come out, and Christmas music comes out for a couple of days. Last...
The joys of summer in north east Ohio. Big temperature swings, heat, humidity, thunderstorms, and festivals. That's not even getting into the cook-offs and cultural festivals, of which there's competing ones almost every weekend. Last weekend, the girlfriend and I...
Man, having a Friday afternoon off was nice, I hope you were all able to find adequate beverages to refresh yourselves without any recipes from me. With that, lets get back into the links. Locally, I know where I'm planning on heading tomorrow. I may not be the...
Some of us do this by choice Trump. BY CHOICE!
That was a nice week of spring weather, but now spring is over, and I'll likely break down and turn on the AC this weekend. The girlfriend and I have been trying out Sunderfolk, a couch co-op which utilizes smart phones/tablets as the input device. We're still just in...
Yep, I'm back. I'm not sure what bias this is, but my experience (and that of those I know) does not match this. This. This is being a role model. The local clown show continues. I was approached by some people looking for signatures on the recall petition last...
Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma
Time for your weekly drink and link fix.
Seen in the wild.
Care to join me for a drink?
Not the Old Man, just a middle aged man.
Shows are good… and stuff!
McDonald’s has really gone downhill.
I’ve got an empty frame I need to put up for 2020, and then the newer ones still. But I’ve been to… a couple of these. Same artist did most of them, and he was jealous that I had them all. He didn’t even have a couple.
The Slackers. It is nearly impossible to be mad after seeing the Slackers.
They opened for the Koffin Kats on Sunday, playing at a venue I love. I’ll be seeing the Slackers play there tomorrow.
These oranges are a lie.
Two chefs from the area talking about food, culture, and cooking. It was a good time.
This is turning into a big spring for concerts, the girlfriend is off to hear the orchestra >insert snide comment about their rating here> play MCU music. Meanwhile, when we saw the Dollyrots last week, one of the opening bands included a guy I knew from way...
Assimilation is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?
