Matthew Roberson – Page 11 – Alleged Beef

Matt Rob divides his time between this site, the NBA, wine, mystery novels, his pack of tiny dogs, and various strategy games. In past lives, he was an economics journal editor, movie critic, sketch comedy writer, carny, short-order cook, carpenter, baker, beer snob, deliveryman, farmhand, and curmudgeon. You can reach him at twitter.com/allegedbeef or by writing a note, affixing it to a bottle of barbaresco, and leaving it under the closest yew tree.
