    Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorite long weekends. Honestly, it’s my favorite spring/summer holiday! It’s the kick-off to summer! (NOT that I love the stupid hot weather in the slightest.)

    I recently looked at an infographic published by the American College of Sports Medicine on the benefits of resistance training.

The professor, who was excellent, by the

  • Don’t Be Fooled0

    The Bookworm Sez: “Oliver for Young Readers” by Steven J. Carino and Alex Tresniowski, foreword by Laura Schroff0

    Take that! Or, maybe on the other hand, don’t. That’s not yours to take, so taking it would be stealing and you’ve been taught since you were in diapers that stealing is wrong. You know how much it hurts to lose something through theft; in “Oliver for Young Readers” by Steven J. Carino and Alex
