Why Whiskey?

Hi Friends! I have missed you all so much. This is not a typical episode and not launching on a typical day... this is a reintroduction to me and a bit of an explanation for my absence for nearly a year. A LOT has changed! Jesus... so grab a drink and come sit with me and catch up for a few minutes. Regular episodes will launch every other Friday starting on November 11th. Stay Tuned! Cheers.

Greetings friends! In this episode, I sit down and chat about our new backyard and the latest location of the #BOQLC. Battle Creek Michigan has a fun story to tell from the origin of its name to the crowning of its title of "Cereal City USA". The town served as a health and wellness and also concealed a stop along the Underground Railroad. Come with me as I sip some local whiskies and talk about this quaint little city with a big story. Cheers!

From dangerous trips through the catacombs in Italy to epic battles with the Black Knight to fighting Nazis in the deserts of Egypt to riding fake horses powered by coconuts that may or may not have migrated... the stories around the cup that Christ used at the Last Supper OORRR the cup that Joseph of Aramathea used to catch Christ's blood at the cross as he died, have brought about such grand tales, adventures, myths, legends, and some great movies! But is it real? Did it exist? Can it still be found? Or has it already been found and kept safe in a church in Spain... Let's grab some whiskey and "RRRRUUNNN AAAWWWAAAYYY" to see what we can find!
