But as you may know, 2008 has been much more of a road warrior year for me, [...] Read more – ‘My 2008 Travelogue’.
Ever since the first icy, sugar-rich drop of your pineapple-infused take on the traditional orange soda hit my lips, you’ve been the one I adore. Now I’m trapped on the East Coast, with nary a can in site. And no Mountain Dew or Fanta can provide a worthy substitute for that party you so consistently [...] Read more – ‘A Tribute to Cactus Cooler’.
