Before you head out to a packed airport or major traffic on the highways this Independence Day weekend, check out this colorful collection of firework displays around the United States.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Father’s Day being celebrated in the United States. The annual holiday was started back on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington by Sonora Smart Dodd to honor her father, Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, who had raised her and five other siblings on his own after their [...]
Another week of voting has come to an end and this week not one, but two cities were kicked off the island…er I mean eliminated. To just backtrack before I give the results, to show you how unpredictable this voting has become, last week’s favorite city Montreal was in dead last for six out of [...]
If you follow the tweets on my Twitter page, then you know by now that I am expecting a little airline miles collecting bundle of joy this spring. The baby is actually due the week of my 30th birthday (talk about leaving your care free 20s behind with a bang). Oh my poor wife, yet [...]
