The new, cool foodie Dad

By On June 15, 2011 · 1 Comment

Yep. It’s this Sunday. You better get your act together. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19, 2011.

Do people still buy ties for Dads? Or barbecue equipment? Or is that all advertising gobbly gook? More like polo shirts and ugly shorts, no? What truly is reality?

By On January 3, 2011 · 1 Comment

By On November 22, 2010 · 3 Comments

OMG. It’s here. The Pa LCB’s answer to selling wine in a supermarket. “PRONTO” is anything but. You can see it at Wegmans in Warrington, right across from the Cheese Department. You’ll need your driver’s license and be prepared to “breathe” into a breathalyzer. No joke. All this for a [...]

Toto, I Don't Think We're In Pennsylvania Anymore

By On June 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I have traveled far and wide, to exotic places like California, Missouri and, even New Jersey, and I have seen alcoholic beverages sold in supermarkets. Yes, yes, it’s true. And, now, here in Pennsylvania we can see it too.
