To coincide with the final season of Game of Thrones, and its total train-wreck of a narrative, Diageo last year released a line of...

Board games, particularly strategy games, have always been something I enjoy. As a kid through elementary and middle school I played a...

We have family that lives near Homer, Alaska. It's quite a trip, but it's one we try to make once a year to see those loved ones and...

This was supposed to be a happy post. Going to be called 'The boys are back!' I'd cover the return of baseball over the weekend. It's...

What's the real motivation behind all of the 'live-action' remakes of Disney animated classics in recent years? Is it simply a straight...

Hamilton was, and is, a national phenomenon. I never thought we'd see it and like many others was quite happy it'd be streaming on...

Today's whiskey review is of a bottle I found for a great price in Alaska of all places, the Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch. The Grog...

I really tried to finish enough blog posts to cover an absence of more than a week. Not quite succeeding, at least I only missed one....

Well I'm still tackling Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts, and as always not making enough time to read. Even missing a lot of context...

I've done brisket on the smoker a couple times. It had always been flats before, though the last one was enormous (for a flat) at...

Our son Jack turned two. I can barely believe it. It doesn't, by any means, feel like we brought him home yesterday. I was still working...

Tonight's whisky is Monkey Shoulder , which will be my first 'blended' Scotch review. For a refresher, a blend combines whisky from...

Tom Bombadil is a totally random Lord of the Rings character and if you've seen the movies but not read the books, you've likely never...

I didn't make ribs in the last few days. I've been saving this idea for when I don't have anything else ready, like today. The last time...

Tonight's whisky is the Glendronach 15 year 'Revival.' I already loved the 12 year thoroughly, it's a great example of a 'sherry-bomb.'...
