Last night I got to get a little practice in on a thing most guys can do one handed. And no, I wasn’t in the bathroom. I was on the couch. Wait, this is starting to sound even worse. OK, let’s start over. The Janmeister wanted to take off her bra. Most...

Fall is just around the corner. I know this because the first of the seasonal pumpkin ale has arrived on the market. Granted, it’s not the best pumpkin ale I’ve ever had. That was in Key West. The home brewer used 10 pounds of pumpkin in making the pie,...

I first noticed it a week or so ago. I was in West Seattle, my old stomping grounds. I have always enjoyed roaming the Junction, finding cool treasures in the second hand and antique shops, grabbing some ice cream at Huskys, and generally enjoying the vibe there. Even...

I went to the McCleary Bear Festival about a month ago. It’s a lovely, small town kind of festival and it’s always fun to go to these, largely because it’s easy to be a big fish in a small pond. The Janmeister and I met up with some fellow rogues and...

The Wonder Years was on last night. Well, I guess it’s on every night on the HUB channel. I always liked the show, even from the very beginning. It is in fact the reason I got my first and only speeding ticket. Before I move on to the wonder of the Wonder Years,...

I went to a jam session for the first time two weeks ago. I am still laughing because I think my guitar was the real star of my show, not me. All the other musicians couldn’t get enough of my little four string wonder. Yes, you read right – four strings. I...

I went to Folklife this past Saturday. I haven’t been in a while. Part of that reason was I was being held captive in Florida by love gone wrong. When it finally ended up right, I came back to the homeland. I arrived just in time for Folklife. I have always...
