I’ve noticed quite a Brew-haha (Get it? Man, I crack me up…) stirring on the Web these days around Foothills Brewing’s seasonal Sexual Chocolate Stout. Seems there’s some concern about racism, and maybe racy titles. The beer seems like it’d be tasty, though not to my liking; I don’t care for chocolate in my ale. [...]

Sometimes the news websites have important stuff on them. I don’t mean fire, flood, and devastation. (Or the Primaries, which amount to the same thing.) Anybody can post about that stuff.

It’s Pearl Harbor Day once again. Seventy years ago America;s navy was attacked without warning by a regime drunk on visions of world dominion. Ultimately they failed, though it took one person out of every eight in the United States joining the military to make that happen, along with the efforts of allied forces [...]

We didn’t make opening weekend of the Texas Renaissance Festival this year, but we got there as quick as we could. Only to run into a big ol’ batch of pirates. It was Pirate Adventure Weekend! The opening show was stuffed with silliness, and the only thing missing was a crowd. Attendance was down, [...]
