Month: June 2007

  • Summer time…. And the Root Beer is Flowing…

    The drought is over! Well, the Diet Barq’s drought, anyway. Here in NY, for whatever reason, Diet Barq’s (or DB, as we keepers of the diet rootbeer faith will refer to it in our Root Beer Cabal’s, held every third Wednesday in the cellar of the High Priest of Rooted Beer) has not been available.…

  • Some Photos From the Rafting Trip
