Around our house the queen of crafts is definitely the missus, she can knit a quilt like nobody’s business. Me, I can barely knit my brow. I may not be royalty at home or abroad, but I know a thing or two about craft brews. Wellington tell us they are celebrating 10...
Tossin’ the old ball around with my grandson, he can swat a gramps flutterball like gangbusters. In baseball vernacular, a flutterball is another name for a knuckle ball, a pitch with a mind of it’s own and no clear trajectory. A good one can baffle the most...
Plan A is still intact, the Leafs won last night so they have a chance. Their chances are slim and none and Slim is packing his bags and bought a bus ticket but he hasn’t left town yet. And we all know, where there’s beer, there’s hope. Plan B is holding together...
I’m a big fan of Woodhouse Brewing. For this old man a woodie in the hand can’t be beat.* So to tap into a Woodie Double IPA on the big game night seemed to be the way to go. Unfortunately even though a Woodhouse beer can’t be beat, my Leafs can. Again and again. Yes,...

The third and final episode of the Mining Now COMDB Unofficial and verbally sanctioned CIM* Convention Wrap and Tap show. But wait. Can it be? Say it isn’t so. Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer replaced by Grand Dames Sipping Suds? Well I’ll be grand damned. The Grand...
Episode deux from the CIM Convention in Montreal. I remember back in the day when these conventions were all about drinking triples, seeing double and acting single. Now for me it’s one and done. Not so for my Crownsmen partners Jerrod and Rory. After a full day in...
COMDB are in the maison. The CIM convention in la belle Province to be precise, and quaffing a brew or deux with the Crownsmen dynamic duo.* Shout out to Jerrod and Rory and the whole MiningNow team. Montreal is doing it’s very best Vancouver impression. As the old...
I am going to share something with you that is very personal, because everyone tells me that talking about it helps. This is not easy to say in a public forum but my coming out and saying it may help my anxiety and those or others, so here it is. THE BEATINGS AT HOME...
