Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.

The Garden Chronicles
The closing chapter on this year's garden.

Begin your weekend with Jim Jones Revue...
Thursday Morning Music
Monday evening found Jill and I at the Balboa Theater in the Gas Lamp District of San Diego to catch the closing performance of KD Lang's North American Tour.

Día de los Muertos
St. Bernard's reminds everyone of one of the traditions of the Catholic faith - namely the remembrance of the dead this time of year.
The history of this tradition is closely connected to the indigenous people that occupied Mexico long ago. They observed the month-long pagan ritual celebrating death and rebirth during the ninth month of the Aztec solar calendar.
