Cigar City Jai Alai IPA was one of the winners in my book at the Craft Beer Festival last weekend. If you're in their current distribution area I highly recommend it!

Today I will drink ALL the beer. Scored a couple early entry tickets to the Minneapolis Craft Beer festival. Despite actual blizzard conditions, I'm going!

I look forward to seeing how this turns out! I get out to your area every now and then, to the NSCA headquarters and the USA Hockey headquarters. Next time I'm there let's have a smoke!

When I can find time for a ride, then pairing it with a visit to an out of town shop for a cigar is always optimal. In fact, the best ride I've ever had for a cigar was a jaunt down to Kansas City for a visit to an old friend's shop.

I'm just finishing a non-fiction reference book called The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown. It's a great resource and tool for the athletes I work with, and can be for everyday people as well, to reduce their physical and mental stress levels and help the body remain in a parasympathetic...

The remote is in between the couch cushions. Your best friend/cigar buddy has your favorite lighter you're looking for. Are you referring to a phrase your wife/SO often says, maybe in bed?! When on a divided highway, "it" is always a turn from a lane you're furthest from. and lastly, the...

Had a business meeting with a consultant who is also into cigars, at the cigar shop in Mpls. Had myself a 1926 No. 35, which I haven't had in years, what a great smoke! I forgot how awesome those are. Although the Monte 4 above this post looks awful tasty, that's another old favorite of mine...

I was into comic books as a teenager, I sure wish I knew what happened to all my old Amazing Spider Man and Spectacular Spider Man issues. Probably ended up in a garage sale 20+ years ago. I've noticed there's a new(ish) Star Wars comic series that's all about Darth Vadar, and I'm very...

Lefse is a wonderful Scandinavian treat, a great addition to Thanksgiving or Holiday meals, and a fun tradition for many folks out here in MN. Like many cultural traditions, it is struggling to get passed on to younger generations, I'm proud to have learned to make it, hopefully as good as the...

Nice to see a review on these, I bought several boxes back when they came out and haven't had one since! Time to dive in I guess...

Santa brought one of these! Wife commutes a long ways a few days each month, it was time for something comfy with good gas mileage.

We've got a handful of these around the house, paired with Alexa, and really like how easy it is to turn on/off lights prior to entering a room, or after leaving. I also set up the espresso machine on a voice activated outlet, so I can turn it on from bed, and it's warmed up and ready to roll...

Just put "52nd Street" in the player, a great album with some great work!

It's time for 3rd coffee. Final week of my MSc, it's on!

How's it supposed to hold cigars on its side like that?

Anyone else have other recommendations? I'm on the road driving to a client for two hours each way once/week, and have been using that time to listen to podcasts.

Time to put up some Christmas lights! And this will help me...

Not necessarily a new purchase, however I just had this shipped to me:

I've recently fallen for this drink, anytime I'm at a finer establishment where I know they're respect it I'll generally order one. What's everyone's thoughts on the ideal spirits for making one, do you have brand preferences?
