Picked up a bottle of the Kirkland's Signature "Ready to Drink" Old Fashioned - 1L bottle for $17 at Costco over the weekend. Enjoyed it last night with the family during our Father's Day celebration. Out of the bottle - not bad! Thinking it's something great to have at parties during the...

I saw the Thunderbirds documentary pop up. Definitely on my "to watch" list... I was also wondering about Lilo & Stitch. I've been forever forced to watch the series as the kids all love Lilo & Stitch. Almost assured I will be watching it as the granddaughter has all of these kinds of movies...

...so what did you think of this seasons final episode. Kind of a bit of a twist and turn at the end! Not sure I like the outcome, but it makes sense! They've not yet announced it, but it's likely there will be a season 2. I hope they announce the new season soon!

We just wrapped up our latest cruise on the Sun Princess to the Mediterranean - what an amazing trip. Really bummed when it ended... But we have an amazing travel adviser (she booked us on the cruise for an amazing price). After we returned she contacted us with her latest "deal" - so we are...

My son made it his mission to also become an ordained minister. Sort of a tongue in cheek thing to do, but I do admire his willingness to help! I think he does now have three weddings under his belt - most were Star Wars themed! But my son did tell me at one point I get my sense of humor...

Who is the "Rod" guy - I thought the owner's name was Rob. You buy this site from Rob at some point?!? Sorry - just kidding of course - it was a "joke" back in the day... Hard to believe it's been 25 years! And I remember all of the cigar sites back then, all competing with one another. And...

I just recently picked up a very nice multi-fuel genny due in large part to a VERY generous employee discount at Bass Pro (the wifey worked there for a time). Had my friend hook me up with a transfer switch and outside plug - now I feel all fancy and stuff. But almost guaranteed after going...

That is the most words I ever saw Doc put on a post. And the best words he ever wrote, despite some of the best on liners anywhere! I miss him... Thanks for the re-post Ray! And BTW - thought of you as I rearranged my liquor cabinet. Came across some beauties from group splits back in the...

I'm liking Duster thus far. Interested to see where it goes. Pretty good job of making it look very 70ish. Also found and are watching Goliath Can't believe I had not watched it for 7 years - love Billy Bob Thorton's stuff!

Love the Midwinters Night Dram. On the expensive side, but a truly great pour!

Picked this up this evening. 103 proof. It is spicy - but a damn good spicy (very nice warmth). Not always a fan of full proof - but this was definitely worth it!

The one photo that I took of the column at the Acropolis was fascinating for me. A hand carved intricate ornamental filigree at the top of the column just blew me away! That is some amazing craftsmanship at a time we'd think something that detailed would have been very difficult. I think...

Our day in Chania, Crete (Greece)... The botanical garden was amazing - apparently a very rare occurrence on our planet where three micro-climates converge in one place. Well worth the visit if you're in the area!
