Friday Bullets Before The Trip To The Clinic
Posted by on Friday, December 7, 2007 in - 7 comments
I hear there is a purple pill that will fix all this but I have to figure out the right question to ask. Until then sputter, hack, wheeze. • Technology apparently hates Santa and ruined at least one little child's Christmas forever. What next - anti-Santa beer? Santa and beer??? • Via Ben the …
Even As I Drink Buckley's Mixture, I Think Of Baseball
Posted by on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 in - leave a comment
Having a horking fit every 37 minutes that would rival any hork expelled by hork-master Pete Vuckovich, it is still amazing to me, here in the depths of a winter that has yet to begin on the calendar, that baseball is so fully immersive. But this news is too good to be true: • “The Red Sox and …

You notice, after picking up the aspirin bottle and shake out a few into your hand, that it was actually bottle of Buckley's.
This Yule, Get Your Lwowska And Chleb

A photo essay at the BBC about Polish night bakers reminds me again how much I like chleb - rye bread - and other Polish food. And reminds me to write about it again. When folks came over the other day to test drive a couple of weisse beers that will show up at the LCBO next spring, there was …

Mike Campbell placed a link over here to a column he saw today in the Halifax Chronical Herald by Trevor Greene which is his first published writing since his injuries sustained in Afganistan. I thought I would repeat the posting here. This bit is the conclusion. Go read the whole thing: • “I’m …
A Saturday In 2007 And Those Of The 80s
Posted by on Saturday, November 3, 2007 in - 1 comment
If you are interested, I wrote a bit about Halifax in the 1980s yesterday for The Session, a monthly thematic series where beer bloggers globally write on the one same topic. Yesterday was "beer and music" and that reminded me of the Halifax of my young wayward adulthood. • It also reminded me …

Is dull so bad? I mean, the Rockies did get within one at a certain point in the game. And, if it is your team, can winning a championship really be dull? After all, I took a vacation day tomorrow on the hope of a sweep and the need to stay up with my TV pals, have a beer on a Sunday night, that …
The Red Sox Make My Life Better

Not that things are bad but if it weren't for the Red Sox I wouldn't have met the nice people from Albany attending a wedding at our hotel's bar on Saturday night. I wouldn't have been able to watch them checking the scores inning by inning as they dashed in, a little less stable from their free …
Hooked On Salmon Oil?
Posted by on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 in - 7 comments
I noticed I was somewhere less than bummed out and slightly to the right of bubbly the other day and I tried to think of all the things I have been doing or not been doing and I came to a very weird thought - I'd run out of salmon pills. So I look it up and...: • “The brain is remarkably fatty …
Baltimore Pit Beef For Christmas

Big Al's and Chaps, Baltimore • Highlight of the last bit of 2007 (and have you realized that we are 3/4s though the first decade of the 21st century?) is going to be a trip to Baltimore. I got invited last Christmas to write a chapter of a book called Beer and Philosophy and now we are invited …
