pacnw day 1
We thought we were making pretty good time to the airport, but it turned out we weren’t: We arrived shortly after 4:30 am and got through security by 4:45 am – not enough time, unfortunately, before the announced 5:00 am boarding time for us to kick off our annual vacation to the farthest reaches of… Read.

Pomplamoose
I had tickets to see Pomplamoose last week at the High Noon Saloon. Too bad I didn’t get to see them. Oh, I was there. I got there early. Tickets said the show started at eight, so I was there with my hot date at seven-thirty hoping to score a couple of seats close to… Read.

Dilly Dally 2
It’s the traditional photo of us in front of the hops vine at Karben4’s annual Dilly Dally: We weren’t all that impressed by the beers at the Dilly Dally this year. They were all pretty good, but last year most of the brewers prepared something special for the event, if I recall correctly, and this… Read.

Sujeo
I have literally lost two inches off my waist between this morning and last night, when I stuffed myself with a meal of bibimbap and spring rolls at the weekend soft opening of Tory Miller’s new restaurant, Sujeo. I shouldn’t have eaten so much; I should have eaten half and taken the other half home… Read.

dead and buried … and undead
One of my coworkers takes great delight in singing less-than-likeable pop songs from the 70’s. The asshole. I’m a live-and-let-live kind of guy, but I could cheerfully curb-stomp anyone who thinks it’s hilarious to resurrect pop songs that should have remained dead and buried. That’s one breach of etiquette that ought to be punishable with… Read.

dumbshit
I am officially a dumbshit. You knew that. Shut up. Some time ago I built what is basically a very big homemade refrigerator for two reasons: First, so I could control how my beer fermented. For that reason, this kind of very big homemade refrigerator is known among home brewers as a ferm chamber. Second,… Read.

ribs
I think I get ribs now. I used to wonder why other people made all that fuss over them. Gristly, mostly bone, dripping with sauce that got all over your face and hands. What’s the big deal? I couldn’t figure it out, so I haven’t bothered with ribs for, um, decades? I can’t recall the… Read.

yelp 2
As I was saying, the biggest thrill of the weekend was the mouse that came up the stairs into the kitchen on Sunday night. I’m not kidding. Don’t judge us. We don’t get out much. The little booger literally came up the stairs. I’m almost one-hundred percent certain of this because when I turned on… Read.

Guardians Of The Galaxy
If you don’t see any other movie this summer, you’ve got to see Guardians Of The Galaxy. Why? Talking raccoon, that’s why. Talking tree, that’s why. Soundtrack that includes Hooked On A Feeling, the oogah-chagah version by Blue Swede. That’s why. Full disclosure: The soundtrack also includes Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes,… Read.
