Someone should tell the Baronesa if she goes cavorting naked through the cactus grove picking limes she could end up with a prickly pair!* Contessa, Baronesa, Lady Gaga. The titles always confused me, most likely because I am no peer of peerage.** I did meet a...
Old Johny Keats could rhyme you right round the bend and back and win that girl for you while he was at it. But what the hell is a KEETS? Storm Stayed has us in a fog over this one. But when it comes to beer tasting, what’s in the can is more important than what’s on...
A lazy hazy laid back sun drenched and bake day at the lake. After a burnt bird BBQ, out on the lake casting a line and wetting the net, then a twilight boat ride to nowhere in particular. No grinding just unwinding, powering down and not on charge. In energy saving...

It could well be that the origin of the word gorgeous comes from the Elora Gorge, a beautiful place to be sure.* Well worth a drive, depending of course on where you live, the mileage you get with your vehicle and the price of gas. Apart from all that it is a...
Flying Monkeys brewing an amber, Beau’s brewing an IPA (an upcoming review), what kind of topsy turvy Lewis Carrol through the beer glass * beer brewing world is this? And the name, “Raving Loops of Computer Music” gave me a flashback (memory not chemical based...
What time is it? Game time! And whose playing in the final for winter’s favourite sport? Two of our favourite winter destinations, Florida and Vegas, of course. And once again the house wins. The hits and the referee’s glaucoma were the two main themes of the...
