I typically go for hot coffee in the morning regardless of the weather, then if I have an afternoon cup I go cold brew if it’s warm out, hot if it’s cold. I also take my hot coffee black but like a splash of cream in my cold brew.

One of the most “WTF?” trades I can remember.

There are only two waterfalls in the United States that feed directly into the open sea, and McWay Falls is one of them. The 24-meter falls drop into pristine blue-green waters in Monterey, Calif. In just a short quarter-of-a-mile hike, you can enjoy these beautiful falls.

I don’t eat much fast food, and when I do, it’s almost never chicken, so I had not had any of the sandwiches that have been released during the Spicy Chicken Sandwich Wars of recent years. Then the other day a friend asked if I wanted to try Popeye’s and Chick-Fil-A, so I went for it. I had never eaten anything, let…

The best birthday cake is a good pie.

I loved the work (I was a journalist/news director and talk show host, not a jock, so a bit different than what the article is focusing on), but once I had kids the moving, poor pay, poor benefits, and shitty hours outweighed how much I liked the work.

My oldest is 12, so we’re still a few years away from driving, but she has a bike, a bus/light rail pass, will have Lyft/Uber on her phone when she’s 16, and can borrow my car when I don’t need it. It might be a different equation if we lived in a smaller town or rural area, but living in a city there is no reason for…

It makes sense. Lebron has famously struggled to be competitive against men, so why wouldn’t he want to play against women so he could finally taste success?

TL/DR: Run.

Counterpoint: Don’t put mayo on either piece; it’s nasty!

We had them too! I don’t really remember drinking out of them very often (white Russians were a holiday tradition and were made in those, but I don’t remember much else), but they were great to use as a biscuit cutter and made perfectly sized biscuits!

Never mind “Call me Ishmael” or “It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen” or (my personal favorite) “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”

Goddamn...2021 is taking some greats. As a kid who grew up on hip hop in the 80s and 90s, I guess I better start getting used to it.

Goddamn, man...DMX, Shock G, DOOM, Gift of Gab, Biz...and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few. 2021 is taking some greats...

Boone’s and it’s higher abv cousin, St. Ides Special Brew, were to the girls in my high school what Mickey’s and OE 40s were to the boys. How did we all drink any of that swill?

Last spring I binged the entire series (don’t ask—the early days of the pandemic were bleak...) and the least believable aspect of the show wasn’t his condo or the fact that a local AM radio talk show host in Seattle would make as much money as he apparently did (though I guess they never really explained if he had…

Unfortunately, the only real alternative is instant coffee

One of the most underrated rappers out there. He’s probably best known for Alphabet Aerobics and Chemical Calisthenics, which were good if gimmicky, but he has some flat out great songs with Blackalicious, Quannum, and his solo albums (4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up holds us and is a really, really good album).
