It’s snowing again. I woke up this morning with a great idea. Since this snow is cold and fluffy, what’s stopping me from using my handy dandy backpack leaf blower to clear off the front walk and steps? Absolutely nothing, that’s what. I decided to go outside and give it a try. I pulled the […]

Tennis Balls In Dryer For Static Control
Many of you may have noticed that it’s winter. Yes, the good ‘ol freezing cold air is back. If you aren’t enjoying the air, maybe you’ll get a kick out of clothes that almost electrify you. I’m talking about static, folks. Yes, static. I have these long Nike warm-up pants that I sometimes wear when […]
What’s In A Tennis Game Anyway?
After a little break from playing tennis, I am back at it. I played last night and again this morning. I’m a little sore. I didn’t think I would ever get back, with the way things were headed. I remember missing one clinic for one reason or another, and then the snow hit. Come the […]
Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale
One of these days, I am going to stop writing about beer. Then, you guys are all going to come crawling back, begging for my famous beer posts. Until that day, I will continue writing. Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale is a very fine ale that I found in my recently purchased holiday 12 pack. […]
Baby It’s Dark Outside
I just got off the phone with my brother. It’s like talking to myself. No, he doesn’t always copy me, he’s just a lot like me. Or, I’m a lot like him. He’s a few years older, but I’m taller, so I call him “little brother.” Anyway, we were talking about how damn dark it […]
Christmas Dinner At The Mayflower Inn
We did it. We really did it. For the first time in our lives, we didn’t exchange Christmas gifts. It was a bold (and more difficult than expected) move, but one that we thought we needed to do. If you haven’t noticed, the exchanging of Christmas gifts has…well, lost something throughout the years. I notice […]
Samuel Adams Winter Classic
I think that’s what it’s called. I burned the box last night after we put the beer in the refrigerator, so I’m not quite sure. What I do know is that there are 12 beers total, two of each winter classic. This isn’t my Christmas post. Unfortunately, that will have to wait for tomorrow, since […]
Johnnie Walker Red, Black and The Glenlivet
This post is dedicated to my good friend Robert, who, as it turns out, is a Scotch man. The other day, I wrote a post telling you that we were planning on traveling over to the Mayflower Inn, in Washington, CT for Christmas dinner. In that post, I described how I was going to finish […]
A Winter Walk In The Woods
I can officially call it winter now that it’s the 22nd. It feels like just a few weeks ago that I had sweat dripping off my face from working outside. Now, sweat is just a distant memory. When I woke up this morning, I noticed a blue sky peeking through the little half circle window […]
The Morning After The Snow
I guess it really isn’t the morning after the snow, because it’s still snowing. I think it’s supposed to stop today, but I heard last night that we can expect 4-6 more inches tomorrow. Holly, the Norwegian Elkhound (snow dog), just loves it. The minute she feels snow under the pads of her feet, she […]
