Some of you astute readers may have figured out by now that I like beer. I don’t drink a lot of the sudsy, but I do watch a lot of trends in the beer arena. Oh, and I occasionally sample a good brew. Something local […]
I don’t normally rant about food-related business blunders here at the Underground. I see blunders daily, of course; anybody who’s not in a comatose state or living in a mountaintop monastery gets their nose rubbed in them, in fact. Contaminated spinach recalls, bad bison burgers, Candwich. And that’s just this week. Not every food […]

Sunday afternoon I traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet up with my summer research students. They are presenting a poster at the American Chemical Society’s Fall Meeting, covering their fifteen months of undergraduate research efforts at their school, Texas Lutheran University. I get to go along and snicker make snide comments assist in my […]
Today I got an early start, preparing for the first supplier site visit of the trip. I met Stan at 0700 for breakfast and strategy.
