Time for the daily grind, just catching up on my brew reviews with my first java jolt of the morning. When it comes to coffee I’ll never catch up to Farmer Steve who is probably just finishing his first pot. Meanwhile Fonger is still dreaming about the pot from the...
It wasn’t just another manic Monday, despite what Susanna may tell you. * This one was something special. The Crownsmen crew assembled mid-day Monday for the Christmas Edition of The Crownsmen Show with COMDB in tow. Jerrod presented his Top 5 partners and we aren’t...

I remember as a kid seeing that super scary movie The Birds.* Only Alfred Hitchcock could make birds on a wire suspenseful and scary. I mean really, how can you be scared of something that has its pecker on its face? But I remember after seeing that movie when I...
Cranberries and wild rose hips? From the friendly folks at Frontibus way out in the Far East, of Québec that is, the Gaspesié. Which just happens to be where the cranberry capital of Canada is located.* I love me some fresh cranberry sauce with a turkey dinner and...
