What I’m drinking: Bell’s Winter White Ale. One of my favorites this time of year.

We find ourselves on the eve of the midseason finale of this season of The Walking Dead. Allow me this chance of saying thank you to all of you who have read the recaps me and Fremont have done for this season. I’ve had a blast writing them, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them. […]

You can read Fremont’s write-up here. It looks as though some of my grumpy old man views are rubbing off on her. Progress! What I’m drinking: Country Boy Jalapeno Porter. Like last week’s selection, this is a local beer. It’s tremendous. A dark, smoky porter, with a little bite of jalapeno that hits you in […]
While Brian Harriet is teaching his new daughter how to play chess, he refers to her as “pumpkin”. I always love when fathers call their daughter’s “pumpkin”, but this is just making me uncomfortable. I understand that this story line with Brian and his new family is necessary to illustrate his history, but all of […]
