Life's Little Pleasures REbopped!

I lead a simple life...now that the 100 year old Rocky Mountain News has stopped publishing it's the Denver Post and a morning cup of freshly ground, brewed Java! Usually the view from my coffee klatch area is the front-range of the Rocky Mountains...still snowcapped and they look lovely!
Colorado is not home to any coffee plantatations, but many craft-beer brewers call Colorado home. If I'm going to have a beer, it's a good one. Tonight before supper was just such a night. The New Belgium Brewing of Ft. Collins has been putting out some dandy brews for beer aficianados for some time. If you're fortunate to live in their distribution market, make sure you try one of their good ones for this time of year - 1554 Enlightened Black Ale. As the name implies, way on the dark side but full of flavour and a tad of bright taste side, uncommon for a lot of dark beers seen around St. Patrick's Day.
Right down the road from their bigger brewing brother in Ft. Collins, the Odell Brewing Company also turns out some very fine craft-brewed beverages.
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day - a lot of places around here will be celebrating the "Luck of the Irish" and other things Irish! This weekend, the two Mascots, McDuff McTavish and his little brother, Murphy MacIntosh will be in the annual celebratory parade under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Scottish Terrier Club...it's a first for the boys and they'll be all spiffed up with fresh haircuts and even possibly a shamrocked bandana!
And...since you've asked...YES, I do like jazz, particularly vocal jazz! This love affair has been going on for a long time, starting back in Detroit where I barked my knuckles on the drums and sang in several groups. BUT, once I discovered the beauty of this music, there was never any turning back for me. Although I'm not playing I still listen a lot. We're fortunate in Denver to have KUVO-FM that provides one of the best jazz radio outlets in the country. My man Arturo Gomez, Music Director, has done wonders with this station...even in spite of the economic crush that has affected everybody - everywhere.
From time to time, you'll find music artists on our LifeStyles Page, elsewhere on this website...in fact, you'll find lots of good stuff and I invite you to cruise on over to the LifeStyles Page...as we call it...of the not so rich and famous. Join us! If you have a product or service that you would like to share with our visitors to this site, please contact me and let's talk it over! It's FREE!
Here at Dennis Bukantis Marketing, we make it our business to help you in any way that we can with promoting your business, as well as providing you with FREE consultation in the world of medical insurance products...and some related products.
Soon, we're going to be featuring audio messages (the IT people call it Podcasting)...we're working on the production now and getting the various platforms in place. We also expect to move into the world of Internet Television soon too. More on this as we move this along.
Above all, I have tried to make your experience here and with us, a very positive and enjoyable thing..as my friend Carl Bloetscher, one of Detroit's outstanding attorney's says...It's a beautiful thing, Dennis! We couldn't agree more.
Thanks for dropping in on the Words of Wisdom Department...please feel free to comment on anything that you find on this site. You'll find the comment page on this website expressly for that purpose! I would love to hear from you! Until next time!
