A Whole Lotto Beer

My wife and I are in Sonoma County. We love making this trip every year. My best advice to anyone visiting wine country is this – beer. This is the story of how we got 3 free beers from 3 different places in the same bar on the same day.

Seeing the World through Rose-Colored Glass

My wife and I visited Judson Studios. What I want to say simply is that this visit was probably the best tour we’ve taken. Most tours are run by a hired hand who has a script. You walk down certain paths that are marked so as to not disturb the surroundings, and if there are…

A Man Has To Know His Worth
And that is $400. Apparently, life really is cheap. Let me back up just a bit and explain how I came upon this journey of self-realization.

They’re Trying To Tell Me Something

So, my wife and I go into a popular framing store. I’ve been there many times now. The guy who works there and I built some pretty cool “keepsake boxes” together – He mounted the keepsakes; I made the frame. I thought all was great, until we see this cat mounted on the wall. Clearly…

What’s Wrong with Thursday?
I went into a Starbucks and they had signs posted “Friday Love”. Apparently, Starbucks only loves its customers 1 day a week.
