While I’m fighting writer’s block, enjoy the pics I took with my cameraphone from last Friday at a Decatur brewpub called Twain’s on one of my rare nights out on the town.

I thought this was a rather good shot of the beer list.  The "holey" wood you see above are normally used to hold wine/champagne bottles at an upside down angle.

One thing I had accepted as fact once I approached my late 20s was that it was OK to “not get” what the younger kids were doing.  That’s the whole point of being young – it’s not supposed to make sense to the older generations.  They’re carving out their own identity and there is a need to be unique from their elders.  While part of that equation is the reality that a lot of things kids do or songs they listen to are rehashes from previous eras, it’s still different to them based on what they know.  For this conversation’s purpose, let’s keep it to fashion styles (and music) and not the more alarming trend of younger kids’ se ...

A few years ago I ranked my top beers at the time and while I don’t want to bump any of those out of my hall of fame, I wanted to give a shout out to four breweries that have made their products available in Georgia after I wrote that initial blog post.  These four breweries really stand out for reasons I’ll state below and if your state offers these brews, I highly recommend you give them a shot.  During this terrible short ...

NOTE – I’m breaking a blog rule of mine today.  Politics are discussed below, although I do skewer both sides.

I was fooled.  Duped.  Hoodwinked.  And it’s my fault.  Ever since he was the Attorney General for the state o ...
