Spendin’ Sunday or: 2556+1

Salutations™!! First, have you figured out what the numbers mean? This is the last time I’ll ask that question. That, I promise. At least about this situation.

Salutations™!! Today, I learned some very sad news. Finnigan’s Wake will be closing its doors permanently on October 30.

Yes, there were other now-staples such as Sweet Potatoes and 6th & Vine, but none had the impact that Fins did….

Getting Jaxxed Up or: Scotch Scotch Scotch

Salutations™!! This week on The Less Desirables, I was without my work-wives Tracy (illness) and Bethany (vacay) and brought in the fantastic Jax who brought five Scotch Whisky brands for us to taste and try. I love Scotch and these were fantastic. Monkey Shoulder, Jura, Dalmore, Glenfiddich, and Balvenie. Mmmm, listen to Jax and me…

That Food Thing or: The Rant

Salutations™!! This week on The Man Who Ate the Town, I go on a rant about anti-vaxxers. Yeah, I don’t do a lot of political things and this rant isn’t about politics. I know people on both sides of the aisle that are refusing to get it. I’m sure they have their reasons but, still……
