Seger was making some night moves on the Silver Bullet Express, while Johnny wanted to move that train a little further down the line.* But when it comes to the night train, Guns N’ Roses rode it so hard their Axl got busted. “I'll be loaded like a freight train,...
I was missing the snow so I thought a visit to the Muskokas would be in order. Out of the big city, up here where the snow drifts are bigger than the egos. Be careful what you wish for they say. After a morning of digging in just to get to the cottage door it was time...
It had been a while since my Old Flame and I had last got together. In Port Perry it all went well, quite well actually, we agreed there were no regrets. I still recall our chance encounter at Madrocks, in Oshawa of all places, with fond memories. Some may think I...
Holy mackinaw, a porter from Founders in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Speaking of Mackinac, Michigan, Grand and porters, I remember the porter at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan somewhere in time told me that Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour made a movie...
Way back in the day, as in school daze, the future Dr. B says “Wanta to go to Suds & Cinema? Rocky Horror is playing” to which I responded, “You had me at suds”. Please note this was long before Renée Zellweger turned “You had me at….” into a meme.* As far as The...

Chroma chromatic is a colourful name for sure. It means an intensity of colour produced by colour. Sounds like Collective Arts is doubling up on the name for this double. My first thought upon seeing this beer name was Paul Simon’s song “Kodachrome”. * Paul tells us...
Springsteen had some trouble in the heartland, they were badlands for him. CSNY shared their hopes and dreams there. For good ol’ boy George Strait it was the only place he felt at home.* But Blackburn is taking us to a whole different heartland. Bullfrogs not prairie...
I’m flying two flags this evening and at 7% I may be flying high. From a periodic to a patriotic pint right from the Nation’s capital. Or is that capitol? And should it be capitalized? Or is that capitalised? * Politics can certainly be confusing. I thought this was...
