I’ll Take This Hangover
I get this way with movies sometimes. “Fandango” did it to me in college. Most recently, “Old School” made me think they should just stop making films altogether. I am sure others made me feel that way in between, but […]
Book Review: Taverns and Drinking in Early America
Now that I work at an academic publisher, I sometimes have the opportunity to get my hands on books I might otherwise not know about. My most recent read, Taverns and Drinking in Early America, falls squarely in that category. […]
