Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Bourbon
I don’t always stumble onto bourbons from the Buffalo Trace Distillery (call it bad luck), but when I do, I buy!

Summer Arts in Atlanta
The newly blooming dogwoods are giving my allergies a kick in the pants, the loudly chirping birds are ensuring my afternoon nap doesn’t happen, and the school children are itching with excitement and annoying the crap out of their teachers as they get closer and closer to that taste of heaven known as summer vacation.

What to Wear to… Braves Tailgate
This article was a collaboration of Kevin and Caroline (who did 90% of the work).
