At Common Space Brewery, dreams do come true
All of us have dreams, but how many of us take a risky plunge to make that dream come true? Brent Knapp had a good job but he had been dreaming of his own micro-brewery, so several years ago he put in place the mechanisms to make his dream come true. This involved quitting his …
Congratulations to fellow TBLA/DT alumni
For years I’ve been able to mock the younger generation of Dodger fans on Dodger blogs by telling them how great 1981 and 1988 were. I don’t know if over the next two weeks if they will get the joy of 81 and 88 or the despair of 74,77, and 78. I’m expecting joy for …

The magic of 58
I’m going to turn 58 on Nov 24th this year. I was born in 1958 and I told Dave Young how cool I thought this was, that I was born in 1958 and would be celebrating my 58th birthday this year. He was unimpressed. But you know, 1958 was a pretty good year. I was …
