Ahh, sugar. Can't live with it, can't live without it. Can't get enough of it. More dangerous than gunpowder.
But we can't resist. And, with that in mind, let's all plan a visit to Hershey, Pennsylvania, home of Hershey Chocolate.

The Pacific Northwest in the United States is rather beautiful, especially if you don't have a problem with rain. It rains a lot here. Spring, summer and parts of autumn are lovely, as well, but rain is a defining term for this part of the world. And, as we know, rain fills the land and…
We are writing this post when - it appears - the the Covid-19 pandemic is starting to abate, and that many of us can, once more, open our doors, step outside and begin to enjoy life again. And what can be more life-affirming than getting out into nature, and breathing in the air? That is…

Many Americans have a way of saying where they live in this format: "Oh, I come from West Irishtown in the upper Cuyahoga Valley" instead of saying "Cleveland." Many non-Americans sometimes get confused with that very specific sentence structure. It's an endearing thing, but it can baffle others. So this article follows that pattern in…

Some choose to follow their own path. When you're a retired businessman, what do you do to keep busy? Fish? Paint? Travel?
