NFP and Sundry

BCS hangover this morning, so little blogging. Congratulations to LSU and the ghost of Walker Percy. I've always liked the SEC. Even though their fans have grown a bit tiresome lately, bayou country for a Saturday night football game has been on my list of "Places to

Voicemail Etiquette and Brews You Can Use

I cracked open a Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat Thursday night as I prepared this morning's Brews You Can Use. I don't think I've had it before. Oh mahon! Good stuff. Highly recommended (though it might be out of season by now). It's been
