Gin Rummy Before I went down the Tiki rabbit hole and discovered the wide world of rum, I was a gin drinker. My original favorite spirit of choice only came in two varieties for me: Tanqueray for gin & tonics and Bombay Sapphire for martinis. Shaken not stirred. As I’ve developed my palate for rum, I haven’t forgotten about gin. Besides discovering several Tiki drink recipes that feature gin, I’ve also uncovered some new gins of interest.

Before I discovered rum, there was gin.

Martini at 9am? It’s actually a part of the backdrop for my next blog post. Stay tuned. #ginrummy #shakennotstirred #mrmartini

Fly to Asia with Mookie Sato! Just when you think there’s no more room in the Tiki Lounge, art finds a way. Mahalo to the Man from Kyoto for more of your amazing art. Maximalism means there’s always room for one more. Or, in this case, five! #MookieSato #FlyToAsia

Tiki Tour Guide Throughout my Tiki journey, I’ve always been adventurous in exploring new places. I mean this in the literal sense. Besides having a strong virtual presence, I enjoy visiting Tiki bars in faraway places, often in cities I’ve never visited before. Many of these visits were in conjunction with business trips. I’m happy to bring my coworkers along and introduce them to proper Tiki temples as I explore.

Come join me on an adventure as we explore the world together.

Worlds Colliding: Hockey, Art andΒ Music Sometimes, my inspiration comes from a most unlikely place. Like attending an ice hockey game in Allentown PA leading to discovering a Surf music band from Chicago. But I’m getting ahead of myself. In my younger days, I played goalie for an ice hockey team with a great group of guys. One of those guys was Dave West, a younger guy from the Midwest who had moved to the Lehigh Valley.

From ice hockey to a tropical escape, via the Midwest.

Blue Crabs, Old Bay and Bohs, O(s)Β My! Worlds colliding: Maryland edition. By day, I sell energy for Constellation, who is headquartered in Baltimore MD. I travel there for meetings 4-5 times per year, as it’s only about a 3-hour drive for me. I love walking the Inner Harbor, chowing down on crab cakes and Maryland crab soup, and catching the occasional Orioles or Ravens game.. By night (and weekends), I’m a Tiki enthusiast.

My Hat Story, PartΒ Deux Here we go again. 4 years ago, I told you my first story about hats: A Tale of Two Cities, or, My Hat Story. Last month, it was a story about My Hockey Sweaters (and Patches). Today I go back to hats. This is really a story about art, which is near and dear to my heart, just in cap form.

Another tale of my obsession with sports apparel.

Those who know me know that I love a good logo. There are a few sports teams who really knoced it out of the park. My absolute favorite: The Hartford Whalers! I’ve always adored the Whalers’ logo, so I decided to get a hat with it. Ain’t she sweet?

Happy Tiki Tuesday! The latest addition to my Polynesian Powder Room is this cool wall light, which used to hang in the Polynesian Village Resort at WDW.
