As I was going through the hard drive today I realize I’m falling WAY behind on the Beer Shots that I’ve taken… so… here’s one!
The Lenai (Naples, Florida
This was pretty much a perfect afternoon. Sitting on the lenai (an covered outdoor porch for those of you that don’t know) with my feet propped up having a beer. I love vacation.
The Annex Bar & Grille (Solon, Ohio)
I was reviewing my Beer Shots earlier today and I realized that I’d made a grave mistake by inadvertently omitting the greatest bar in the world. The Annex is the best “home town bar” you’ll ever run across and it’s my #1 choice when I’m headed out. In addition to probably the greatest decor ever, you want a great burger? Good lord… this is the place to be.
WrestleMania XXVIII (28 for you non-Roman numeral folks out there) will take place on April 1, 2012 in Miami, Florida. For the 7th time, Pip and I (and for the second year in a row, my brother Marko too!) will once again try to “walk that isle” and build… The Beeramid.
Since WWE announced it’s Mania main event the day after last year’s show (Rock vs. John Cena for those not paying attention), I figured we’d better get going and put together rules of engagement for the evening’s festivities.
This year, we’re starting something a bit different. Moving… Continue reading
Gettin ready for Pip's Power Hour
I recently made my yearly trek back to the Hoosier State to see brother Pip. As always the weekend went way to quick, but it was absolutely awesome to see Pip and Lauren again. I look forward to this trip every year and it had been a while since I’ve made the journey. Last year, instead of going to Indy for a weekend, we made the trip to Bloomington to be with Matt & Lauren on their wedding day.
I set out early on Friday mid-morning to get a jump on the traffic. … Continue reading
Pip's Living Room (Fishers, Indiana)
As you know I spent last weekend hanging out in Indianapolis with brother Pip. As luck would have it the Star Wars saga came out on Friday… the same day I showed up. It’s almost as if there a “crazy ancient religion” bringing this version of Beer Shots together…
Canal Park Home Of The Akron Aeros (Akron, Ohio)
Not only did I get to take in a ballgame at beautiful Canal Park in Akron the other night, but we also go to watch midget wrestling! Beer, baseball and midgets. What more could a guy ask for?
It’s been quite a while since I’ve added any old school 406 pics. This morning I checked my Facebook feed and noticed Pip had posted some pics from last night’s Buffett show. Low and behold he posted this pic of he and Buford… two of the 406 “founding fathers”. Just had to share it!
Pip & Buford At The Jimmy Buffett Concert - 8.25.2011
I’ve got an Indianapolis trip planned in less than a month. I’m guessing there will be quite a few pics coming from that weekend. Can’t wait!
I’m sure the title of this post alone will get me all kinds of SPAM comments, but I’m willing to take the risk to get something off my chest.
Who in the hell thought this costume was a good idea?
This is an officially licensed product available from Star Wars Shop. That tells me that there was not only a product designer but also someone from Lucas Film that looked at this costume and said, “Yep – looks good. It’s approved.” Am I the only one that thinks this is a super inappropriate? I suppose there’s some market out… Continue reading
One of the biggest thrills in my (nearly) 3 year old’s life is helping daddy take the garbage out on Monday night. He talks about it all week long and then gets so excited when the day comes. We go from room to room collecting the garbage and the recycling and then make multiple trips down to the end of the driveway to take it out. The entire time he’s laughing, smiling, waving to mom and generally making me incredibly happy to be a dad.
In any case, last weekend I had poker at the house for the Cleveland Poker… Continue reading
A Weekend With The Boys – Part I
First off… This is not going to be a story about drinking with my buddies at the bar. When I refer to “the boys” in the title here I’m actually referring to MY boys. If you’re looking for a “drinking with the boys” story, you’ll have to wait a couple of weeks. My brother is getting married in July and his bachelor party weekend is shaping up to be pretty damn cool.
Amanda was in Denver for a wedding and was away from me and the boys for the first time since they’ve been born (for those of you keeping… Continue reading →
