What is Uncle Ron's Academy?



Uncle Ron’s Academy is a happy dynamically fluid crew who gather in various sized groups, committees, gatherings, celebrations enjoying visits with or just hanging around Uncle Ron.

Who is Uncle Ron? Uncle Ron is a "spirit". However, the Academy should say that it was a "aha" sort or moment when we realized that the "Ron" in Ron Carioca or Ron Zacapa Centenario was not a primero nombre but Rum! So when we gather it’s more of a family adventure valuing all those great things like life, love, learning. It is more than a night out on the town... So, we are Uncle Ron’s Academy....

This blog spot will feature all sorts of things like rum, music, feasts, literature, dancing, links to other rum sites, events, adventurers and one of the great causes we support: Los Primos Project

Upcoming Happenings

The Results are in!!!!!!!

The Academy has been waiting.... it's almost like having a second Christmas.. What are the scores???? Well here they are on the Uncle Ron's Night Scoring Page. There are some neat groupings... the majority of last year's favorites are still on top with the odd flip flop and  new break throughs. A few are in a different place but where they are is intrigue's spirit. Sailor Jerry is with The Kraken... as they say in Herring Cove "proper thing". Cruzan Black Strap is rocking. It's fun to see where the Cuban rums are and which ones are nearby.....  there will have to be  faculty meetings to  further discuss agenda items like:  How is it that Zaya and Pyrat have politicized (flip flopped). Is there someting in a name: #1 is the Legend!!!! As they say in Wolfville "Why wouldn't it"( thanks Dave and Kay).

Uncle Ron's 2010 Reads and Tunes Awards.

Uncle Ron has many favorites books and cd’s. While some thinks them old technologies nothing beats holding a book in a comfy chair or hammock after just selecting a cd (they are shaped like a vinyl LP). Whether with with other friends like Myers, Cruzan, Zaya or not reads and tunes are nice. This year The Uncle Ron’s Reads and Tunes awards went to Harry Bruce (Page Fright: Foibles and Fetishes of Famous Writers)  and Hot Toddy. Check out the Uncle Ron’s Reads and Tunes page for details...
Above is Tom Easley and Harry Bruce pre award.
