I’ve been saying for some time now that NEPA needs to get on board with rest of the state, and start marketing some kind of beverage trail to highlight the local breweries, wineries, and distilleries that have both been popping up, but also around for a while. A couple of years ago, I even made
Happy late New Year to everyone. I think this might the earliest I’ve ever posted into the New Year, mainly, I think, because it’s the fastest I’ve ever recovered, and then re-acclimated into the real world from the break from reality that is the holiday season. My holiday season was fun, and jam packed, and
I will use almost any excuse to post a link to the following hard-hitting piece of journalism by Buzzfeed. I am obsessed with this piece. I think every description is better than the last, and I laugh aloud at some newly found detail almost every time I read it. My favorite descriptor, if I have

Last Thursday I was cleaning up my room a bit, and found an old CD book of mine. Found isn’t really accurate. It’s been occupying a drawer in my desk for years now, doing nothing. I decided to put it in my closet, and free up my desk real estate. I also decided to open

It’s my friend Eric’s bachelor party this weekend. I’ve been very excited about it ever since plans for what it was going to entail have been formalized. Eric is one of my more docile friends, so I was a bit surprised to see how aggressive the weekend was going to be. We’re going ax throwing
