Doug can shoot?

I've known the guy a long time, but didn't know his ROTC father taught him how to shoot!  The tradition continues this President's Day weekend as the Cruikshank family enjoys some R&R in the Dominican Republic.

Nelse can sell...




Have to love the latest Facebook post by Nelse Clark's Privateer Rum.

"We at Privateer are very pleased to announce the arrival of Batch 7 Amber! 1,800 new little babies. weight 750ml, length 13 1/2" , with a beautiful amber hue. We were in labor for two days.... Maggie is happy, healthy and resting. We are all very excited, Batch 7 is probably the finest rum we have made to date, full bodied with a luscious mouth feel. It has notes of black cherry , dried fig, almond biscotti and a hint of cinnamon on the finish. Feel free to visit your local liquor store to cradle it in your arms and perhaps find a nice home for it!

Spadafora is in....

The bald eagle was tired.  With few spots to stop and nourish itself due to the blanket of snow covering the eastern United States, Jeff Spadafora's messenger bird from Colorado took a few days to deliver.  But at first light this morning in Massachusetts there it was (proverbially) in my inbox.

"Just booked my flight and registered for our reunion.  It's been far too long since I've been back for a reunion (our 10th, if memory serves me right.) Looking forward to seeing some of the guys...  See you in June! "

That makes three by my reckoning, including Cruikshank and myself.  JOIN THE FUN by registering here...
