What was suppose to be a Key West trip in the pre-pandemic world turned into a trip down to Gulf Shores, AL this week. Lot of condo balcony time, avoiding people on the beach, taking the next elevator when it … Continue reading Gulf Shores–2020 Style
For a lot of years, I’ve called Fairfield the land that is an hour from anything. “Anything” has most certainly included craft beer. I’ve also more recently started referring to Jovalou as our little escape from Fairfield, right in the heart of downtown Fairfield. Some of the escapism comes from the staff, some from the higher quality of the food, and some from the people I usually congregate with there. But also, Nikki and crew try to offer something beyond the ordinary in regards to drink options. They do a ton of quality hand made cocktails, often using fresh produce. … Continue reading A Craft Beer Oasis In A Small Town Desert, Or At Least Trying To Be
I was never much of a coffee drinker. Couldn’t get over the taste, with or without all the sweeteners and creams. For years, I have stuck to my Rockstar Recovery a day regimen. Not the healthiest, I know. But, I … Continue reading Morning Buzz
Black Friday is just a few days away. And no, I’m not a guy who goes and stands in line for hours in the morning anymore. I did that in my youth, and often joke I made lifelong friends standing in line at Best Buy in the late 90s. But, I do have a routine for Black Friday. That is the opening day of the Capital Classic in Lawrenceville. The Mules always play in the morning and in the evening. In between, I head to Vincennes. I used to call it my Black Friday Trinity–Record Cellar, Geek Boom, Vincennes Brewing … Continue reading Black Friday, My Way
I turned 41 Wednesday, so my last full day in California had another touch of fun to it; even if we did get a late start on the shenanigans after working throughout the day. Anyone who knows me knows I … Continue reading Birthday in San Diego
Yeah. I like this town. There is a reason real estate is expensive as can be in San Diego. BTW, the locals don’t appreciate the whale’s vagina references. After several days of eating and drinking like a madman, it was … Continue reading San Diego–Discovered By The Germans In 1904 and By Weez In 2019
Where you be, Endangered Species? Monday started the second half of this Cali trip, as we checked out of Disney and headed south to San Diego, via Temecula, one of the fastest growing wine areas of California. We were able … Continue reading Meet Me In Temecula
After spending a day at Disneyland, followed by a day brewery hopping, we returned to a mostly park day Sunday. My first several trips to Las Vegas for March Madness, we stayed at Planet Hollywood. Located right across from the … Continue reading Drunk Disney Is The Best Disney
…a state that’s untouchable like Elliott Ness. We got out of the park today, and headed to outer LA, driving up to Marina Del Rey-Venice and back. On the drive up, the exit signs were a love letter to my … Continue reading Now Let Me Welcome Everybody To The Wild Wild West
Today was our first full day at Disneyland, and as I type this, I am exhausted. More than 20,000 steps, a dozen or so rides. A few good meals. And some okay beer. Staying onsite here in the Grand California … Continue reading Full Day At Disney: More Steps than Step Up 2-5
