Fall Has Arrived in Phoenix!

Fall in Phoenix

While making my daily pilgrimage to Starbucks this morning, I noticed that seemingly overnight the trees have decided that fall has arrived. This despite the last couple of weeks with daily high temperatures pushing 80. Yeah, it sucks living in Phoenix in the "Fall" and "Winter"... Driving around with the top down. Wearing shorts and flip-flops. Golfing, hiking, bike riding, swimming, … [Read more...]

 Mmmmm beer… Those that know me personally know that I do enjoy the occasional strongly hopped malt beverage. Give me a hop-laden IPA and I’ll be a happy camper. Or perhaps a nice brown ale. An Irish red. An imperial stout. Even a lager. A pils if that’s all that is around – it’s certainly better than nothing. It’s tough to beat a good beer (or two) consumed with good friends. … [Read more...]
