Four Corners/Durango Mug Club
The Durango Mug Club is something I was super impressed with when I first heard about it. The local breweries get together and each sell mugs with memberships in the “Mug Club”, once a year one buys a mug and then enjoys cheaper beers every time they take that mug to one of the... »
News Tidbits and a Return to Blogging
It’s been quiet around here lately. Unfortunately when things get busy in my professional or personal lives blogging is the first thing to give way, but expect the postings to start back up around here. A lot happened in the past couple of weeks and a lot is coming up in the next few... »
