My wife and I were in Switzerland visiting family over the holidays, and I drank a lot of beer, because I do that. My latest post is about Swiss beer drinking culture compared to ours in the U.S., and the beers I drank while I was out there.

My latest post is all about the Martini, and be forewarned, I made no attempt to be succinct. Low on information, high on opinionation, it's a long read but a fun read (I think).

Is there a more quintessential early 2000s indie rock song than Broken Social Scene’s Anthem for a 17 Year Old Girl?
If you were 17 when that song came out, you’d be creeping up towards 40 now…

There’s not a lot of hills I’d bother to die on, but I’ll fucking fight anyone who says Goodness by The Hotelier is not one of the best albums of the last 10 years.

Wife, dog, and I went to Providence Canyon for the first time yesterday. That place is awesome. We have one more Georgia state park to visit - Cloudland Canyon - and then we’ll have been to all of them. 👊

We had a rare snowstorm in ATL on Friday and I just watched a couple teens throw icy snowballs across the street at a passing cargo train and cheer when they hit it. Harmless old school mischief. Well done, youngsters.

One of my annoying brain traits is to notice when the usage of word suddenly spikes in frequency. OR it may be that I’ve simply started focusing on that word for some unclear reason and just think it’s being used more. Either way, my current obsession is “ultimately.”
