A Hockey Bar Is a Great Place To Meet a Hockey Legend

13 December, 2011

In Bugsy’s Sunday afternoon three Marines in their dress blues knew exactly who Dale Hunter was two tables over, and the coach knew exactly who they were. Coach Johnson, too, seated with his new boss, greeted the soldiers with warm respect and gratitude. I enjoyed being a witness to the moment. I enjoyed greatly seeing [...]

Cooling, Heavenly Nectar Is Here!

6 August, 2011

Earlier this week we received most helpful confirmation from some Twitter followers that the world’s greatest beer, Nova Scotia’s Alexander Keith’s, had indeed arrived in our region. A special thanks to GaryJ06 for the store find in Montgomery County (Grape Expectations). We welcome in comments each and every beer store location all about the region [...]

Washington, the Hockey and Now Fast-Beer-Dispensing Town

12 February, 2011

What a week it’s been for beer! Saturday afternoon’s Caps-Kings matinee brought the hockey game debut of bottoms up beer dispensing in front of section 114 at Verizon Center. “Magic happens at section 114″ Ted Leonsis wrote in almost poetic tones this week in announcing the arrival of the humanity-altering (for the much better) technology. [...]

Some Call It God’s Tears, and Soon They’re Falling Upon Us

9 February, 2011

We figured that you needed some good news today, and we’re here to deliver the best . . . in the history of humanity.  The greatest beer on planet Earth (that we’ve ever consumed) soon, at long last, will be exported from its home in the Great White North to the lower 48. This from [...]

My Inner Viking, Roused by the Arrival of Mr. Deep Freeze

14 December, 2010

The mercury must fall below 20 before I entertain any notion of donning a touque, and gloves (a real rarity) — my inner Viking won’t have it otherwise. We aren’t there yet this week, though Washington’s air early this a.m. was ripe with winter bite. Also, the region’s first appreciable trace of snow arrived (in [...]

Lessons in Refined Roadtripping

1 October, 2010

I propose the formation of a Hall of Fame for those puckheads who distinguish themselves with exceptional execution in the fine art of hockey roadtripping. My friends Mike and Marleen of Portland, Maine, I submit, would be first ballot nominees. Narration of their feat of Wednesday for the Capitals-Bruins rematch in Boston is not meant [...]

Hugs Instead of Handshakes

25 April, 2010

Apologies for being a bit AWOL this weekend; I had a wonderful off-ice intrusion of real life: a remarkable gathering of high school brothers — we don’t call one another classmates, for reasons I’m about to detail — for our 25th reunion at our school campus in Bethesda this weekend. We had a guy fly [...]

Comcast Correspondent at a Classic New Year’s Weekend in Beantown

4 January, 2010

You know how the next best thing to owning a beach house is having a friend who does? Well, we didn’t have  tickets to this year’s Winter Classic, but Comcast Sportsnet’s Lisa Hillary did. Actually, she also worked the system a bit to get an invite to the league’s New Year’s Eve bash as well. Anyway, she [...]
