People in our corner of Ohio often make fun of our local paper, and sometimes I can see their point. Sometimes the articles are not well-written or seem one-sided. But I think it’s normal to feel this way because I read an online version of a suburban Chicago newspaper, and people are always leaving comments about how this […]
…according to the movies, anyway. Not one but two well-known movie franchises have plots revolving around adventure-seeking archaeologists, Indiana Jones and The Mummy.

In February 2007 during our visit, the breaking news was of model/actress Anna Nicole Smith’s early demise. It was

DISCLAIMER – Do not read this if you don’t want to know about what happened on the ABC reality show, The Mole, yada, yada, yada… WOW – mole-y behavior abound last night… but not too much from Paul, who was shockingly executed. So, my friends who’ve been going with Paul for weeks now, it seems
