One of The Great Things About Memphis

Memphis is flip-flop country!

Even though Memphis is nowhere near the beach almost everyone wears flip-flops when its warm and I have seen many people wear them almost all year round. 

Good to Buy in April - Magazines for the Beach!

April is a great time to buy magazines, not only because many are 2 years for the price of 1 at Amazon right now, but also because they will start arriving at your house right when you need them to take to the beach, or read on the airplane to the beach! 

End of Summer 2008

Since its nearing the end of Summer and I am going mountain climbing in CO this week to try my hand at climbing a 14'er or two, I will bid farewell to a great summer drink that I just discovered.

Dark and Stormy is one of the best drinks for Summer.

We will meet again.
While Im on the topic, Esquire's Drink Database, http://www.esquire.com/drinks/ , is a great resource. Not only does it have the recipe but the 'resident drink historian' gives a quick backstory about where it came from.
Now hopefully I can find some good CO microbrews out in Denver to drink on top of a mountain this week!
