Locals Summer?
As Labor Day gets closer, tourist season begins to wind down. But wait! There's more! Locals Summer is approaching. This is my favorite time of year (September/October). The temperature is still hot (with a little less humidity), the ocean is still warm (perfect for surfing), and the crowds begin to thin (better for driving). Don't tell anyone. It's sort of a secret.

Podcast I'm Listening To
Smartless
If you see me walking my dogs, wearing headphones, and smiling, it can only mean one thing. I'm listening to Smartless.This podcast is hosted by three, hilarious actors (Sean Hayes, Jason Bateman, and Will Arnett) who feed off each other as they interview famous people, mostly from the entertainment industry. The jokes, story-telling, and energy are off the charts and it never gets boring.
 
Beer I'm Drinking
Vienna Lager, by Devils Backbone
I love a good amber and this one has plenty of flavor and just enough sweetness without being overbearing. Still light enough for summer.
 
Things To Do
August 27, 2023, National Cinema Day
The only thing that would make this better is a rain day.  There's nothing worse than wasting a good beach day indoors.
 
Honoring a Legend, September 16
I never met the man, but what an impression he left. He would have been a great interview. In my first podcast episode, Daryl Law talks about Delbert and his penchant for hoarding.
