I’ve written before about escorted tours, so this isn’t really a new subject for me to talk about. What I am going to do, however, is give a bit more of an idea of why you would want to take your vacation this way. I can’t imagine going on vacation alone, honestly, to [...]

There was a time when you could count on being a doctor, nurse, lawyer, teacher or mechanic if you wanted to have a job that is safe. In today’s economy, most of those career fields are no longer secure. It’s scary, really, to think that the jobs that are pushed as most secure [...]

Why is it that there are news sources out there who can’t be bothered doing any sort of real research before reporting a story? I don’t understand what they can possibly gain from reporting a story such as the one that has been reported about the recent Inauguration blunder with the Oath. Honestly, no [...]

One of the changes that is in the air for 2009 for me is a change of diet. I want to do more healthy grilling of meats. I have a grill, I’ve used it, but I don’t use it nearly enough. It’s too easy to get lulled into the trap of doing [...]
