Holiday Gift Guide for Foodies
I feel like I’ve already said this a few times already, but I feel like the holidays have snuck up on me this year. For one, it hasn’t felt like fall (save for a few random days of cooler weather), and, two, I’ve been relatively busy at work, leading to less time to sit back…
5 Tips for a Truly Healthy Holiday
You know, some things are just plain weird to me.

Leprechaun Bait
So, my hometown is kind of infamous. For a leprechaun. Yep, you read that right. Many years ago, an actual news station aired a video of a local man, probably high, who claimed to have seen a leprechaun hiding in a tree. The segment went viral on YouTube and it was even featured on Tosh.0….
