Ready or Knot

Ready or Knot

The night before our wedding I tied one on. The next day, in tux and tie, I tied the knot while my father-in-law looked on, fit to be tied, I think he referred to me as a knot head. Advice to soon to be weds, don’t go out with future cranky old men after the rehearsal...

Drinking In the Moon Light

Drinking In the Moon Light

It was certainly a moon lit night last night, in more ways than one. A wolf howlin’ tom cat prowlin’ kind of moon that makes you wonder if you left the outside lights on. But I wasn’t just drinking in the moon light, I was drinking one too. As in a Whitewater...

How Slow Slow Can You Go Go

How Slow Slow Can You Go Go

How slow slow can you go go, don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo. *  How about as slow as a slo-mo snail.** Or as slow as a stoner sloth.***  Fonger didn't much care for that simile, I think he said "I resemble that remark."  Foghat recommended making it a slow...

I Miss the Boat

I Miss the Boat

It’s been quite a while since I sampled a Side Launch,* and I miss the boat.** But now  the boat is back, in the form of a vanilla porter. I was looking forward to this one, although I must admit, vanilla and I have not been on the best of terms. It’s not that I...

Mohawk, More Hops, Mohawp

With JT on the February wagon it’s up to the rest of us cranky old men to pick up the slack so to speak. And after this high voltage Mohawp triple you may be picking up the Slack. JF has done his part, quaffing a quad the other night. I told the COM that I was trying...

Love Those Italian Lights

Love Those Italian Lights

The Italian lights are certainly a highlight of my past trips. The beautifully lit canals of the Venetian, so romantic at night. Then there is the impressive stature of Ceasars Colosseum, even more impressive in the evening. And of course, those famous Italian...
