Finally got a photo of the last of our cats, Mystra. She is a sweetheart and soft like a bunny. But she has no desire to be a lap cat at all.

Not so polite dinner conversation – True Reason
I've been engaging with Tom Gilson, someone with the True Reason group. I had stated that I had not heard or seen this group at the Reason Rally. I was suprised I couldn't find them despite looking around because they claimed the following: "We’ll be equipped there with: Gifts of kindness to give away–free bottled … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – True Reason
What the Boss likes – Reason Rally review
So, the Reason Rally has come and gone. And it was wet, really wet. But not one peal of thunder from the sky, no petulant Bronze Age gods showing up to “smite” the freethinkers.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why I’m going to the Reason Rally
The Reason Rally is tomorrow. Yep, the weather may well suck, but it doesn’t matter (and heck the farmers need the rain. Since I need them who am I to bitch?).

Here's your warning: MAKE THIS EXACTLY BEFORE YOU TRY TO SCREW AROUND WITH IT. We've had far too many people rave about our mead, then whine when … Continue reading From the Back Room – Mead
From the Bar – Las Parcelas Carmenere
No picture of the bottle since last night the garbage had to go out and I forgot to rescue the bottle. This is one more in a long line of reds, since that's what I prefer and I really am getting into these South American ones. This Las Parcelas Carmenere is new to the PLCB … Continue reading From the Bar – Las Parcelas Carmenere
What the Boss Likes – the cats, part 2
Finally got two more pictures of our cats. Muffin, the cranky one: and Mordred, my scrawny little thing:
From the Bar – Ta Henket, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Having a thing for cats pretty much guarantees at some point you'll become fascinated with Ancient Egypt. And thus started my interest in history and religious myths. When I read in the Smithsonian Magazine that some brewers were making ancient alcoholic beverages, I set out to find some of them. Our local Wegmans suprised me … Continue reading From the Bar – Ta Henket, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
