I have professed my love for Fat Tire before. Beer delivery among local watering holes just happens to be around the time I take my sons to school. We inevitably spot a Fat Tire truck. Bird and Deal whoop and holler like it's the Peeps truck. Even when I buy a different beer … [Read more...] about 5:00 Fridays

I owe Mac Daddy a lot for putting up with me. He's a gem, that one. I might be foolish but I'm no fool. … [Read more...] about 5:00 Fridays
