  • Wood You Be My Valentine?0

    It’s said when it comes to finding love “Every pot has a lid.” If that’s true, I guess that’s why I’m a colander. It’s bad enough being perpetually single 364 days of the year, but being single on Valentine’s Day is like pouring salt in a raw wound and rubbing it with sandpaper while listening

  • The Bookworm Sez: “Admissions: A Memoir of Surviving Boarding School” by Kendra James0

    You had three minutes to get to class. A hundred-eighty seconds to rush from room to room, always on the opposite sides of campus – do-able, as long as you didn’t have to fetch something from a locker or another spot.

    Indoor Growing0

    This past week I had a case of cabin fever, so I began assembling supplies to build an indoor greenhouse. I invested in new LED grow lights and a new enclosure to help regulate the temperature and humidity. Last year, I used fluorescent lighting and noticed large fluctuations in temperature.

  • The Tragedy of Macbeth: Joel & Denzel Take on the Bard0

    Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” is famously plagued by a curse — a frightening series of mishaps, injuries, and deaths going all the way back to the play’s first staging in 1610.
