I know that you can’t wait to visit a haunted house this Fall. If you are itching for a haunted house adventure this summer, but can’t make it to the traveling haunted house science exhibit, here is a free alternative (through July 2nd): Xbox recently launched a new dashboard feature called Kinect Central which highlights […]
It’s time to break out your Spiderman costume and stand in line at the box office for tickets to The Amazing Spider-man as it opens July 3rd, 2012. Spiderman 4 replaces Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. I’ve already featured this movie on my list of six movies that will […]
July 2nd is the start of National Pie Week. And I look forward to having a delicious, warm slice of apple pie topped with ice cream to celebrate the birth of the nation on July 4th. But I would like to take issue with the people who set National Pie Week in July. The two […]
On this day 100 years ago, the costume shop that has made the clothing for some of your favorite movies and television shows opened. Western Costumes was formed on June 30, 1912 by L.L.

This summer, Paulaner USA is touring the nation with a 480-seat Biergarten and throwing an Oktoberfest Practice Party. It’s in the Midwest currently, as I saw notice of it recently in Iowa. I can’t seem to find a schedule anywhere. I hope I didn’t miss it on the East Coast. It’s got to be the […]
It’s time for a quick update on the corn crop. The last time that I checked in on corn, the fields were suffering from the lack of rain. Now, the summer heat has combined with the limited rainfall to keep the corn crop in danger longer. It’s so bad that CNBC says, “Corn is facing […]
Last Tuesday, I posted about opportunities to enjoy fall foliage by bicycle. Apparently, I published that post just a bit too soon. Because if I had waited another week, I could have included an alternative to the bicycle tours: train travel. It must be time to plan your fall foliage vacation. If you aren’t athletic […]
How did you like the Sinister trailer? If you are looking for something to send a spine tingling shiver up your back, it’s right up your alley. And in that case, I would like to take a moment to remind you that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter opened up in theaters on Friday. But if Sinister […]
I thought that I was a little anxious for Halloween to roll around this year since I’m already eagerly anticipating how visitors will react to Funtober. I think that I’ll be able to make it until September or so before I’m driven completely nuts. But it seems that there are a few people in Taiwan […]
