Got Nothing Today

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 22nd, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Maybe it’s the travel last week, followed by a packed weekend, but I’ve got nothing; neither wise words nor energy. It’s like this:

Check back tomorrow.

Pumphouse Brewery

During my recent trip to Longmont, CO I stopped in for lunch at Pumphouse Brewery & Restaurant. Located in a converted fire house on main street Longmont, the decor is focused on fire station memorabilia. The brewery itself holds a prominent plac…

This clip from the Today Show is great. It shows several crazy antics that were caught on tape, including a couple traffic incidents. My favorite is the REALLY determined parking enforcement guy. Watch the video to see what I mean! Originally published at AndrewFlusche.com. © 2012 Andrew Flusche. Crazy Antics Caught on Tape



Oskar Blues and a Deviant (Beer)

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 19th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

After hearing the announcement at the Denver airport, I decided it was my duty to check out a few more of the Colorado breweries. Most of my previous trips to the state were in the Denver area, this time my business was in Longmont, CO.

As it turns ou…



My Kind Of Welcome Message

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Apr 18th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

As I got on the airport tram in Denver, the following welcome message played, or something to this effect.

“This is Mayor Hancock. Welcome to Denver, the Mile High City. Colorado is home to over 100 breweries.”

That’s it. Nothing else was mentioned. …



Homeschoolers and College

By From http://www.odonnellweb.com • Apr 18th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

With my son’s recent decision to attend the University of Mary Washington, now seems like a good time to brain dump on what we learned getting our first homeschooled kid into college. This may not be well organized… 1. Start keeping records when they start “9th grade.” We had to take an archaeological approach and […]



Probable Cause for Virginia DUI / DWI

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Apr 18th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If you’re charged with DUI / DWI in Virginia, the officer will need to prove that he had probable cause to arrest you in order to admit the breath test results against you. Without probable cause, your case might be beatable. Video Transcription Hello, my name is Andrew Flusche. I’m a Virginia traffic attorney. One […]



Never walk by a red dress

Another post about Buck O’Neil and The Soul of Baseball.

Buck shook his head and looked me in the eyes. And very slowly, with a teacher’s edge in his voice, Buck said this: “Son, in this life, you don’t ever walk by a red dress.”

Buck was answering a question about why he (a 94 year old) was flirting with a 20 something – but I think the point he was making goes beyond attractive women in red dresses.

Ferris Bueller said it as, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Of course Ferris is fake, Buck O’Neil is real.

The Buddha talked about the importance of mindfulness- of fully experiencing each moment we have on this earth.

It’s all the same point. We can go through life on auto-pilot, checking things off our to-do list without really experiencing what we just completed, in a rush to just get through the list. Or we can slow down, realizing that 80% of our to-do list probably doesn’t actually have to get done, and fully experience the 20% that matters. If we do that, I think we all find a lot more red dresses in our lives.
