I’ve been totally derelict with regards to this blog. As I’ve bitched to many of you too many times to garner any sympathy, things were a little crazy/hectic last week as we were deposed from our house for what really were some minor repairs. (The repairs themselves were minor, but the preparation, duration and aftermath [...]

Glut of Atl Summer Festivals continues
This time, with 50% more beer!
Atlanta Summer Beer Fest.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, which gives you unlimited beer tasting and a pint glass. Only drawback is it’s being held at the L5P Front Page News – if there are big crowds, could be unpleasant. Still, fun way to kill a summer [...]

I especially loved their summer ale. While I still miss Dogwood, there are plenty of other summer ales to fill the void. As I come across them, I’ll [...]

And seriously, what’s with the freaking thunder and rainstorms? A. it’s annoying as all [...]

Back, with a vengeance
Well, not so much. But back, finally. Although I’m still really busy, I’ll try keeping this thing alive.
First order of business, honeymoon was the awesome. Did NOT want to leave, the place was amazing. I highly recommend LIttle Dix Bay. Highly.
Next item on the agenda, it’s time for outdoor summer movies. As you probably know, [...]
