The Transportation Department is on the verge of enacting new rules about flight delays. The basics: After 3 hours sitting on the tarmac, the airline will have to let you off the plane. Airlines are required to provide some sort of food and water…
My favorite time of the year for sports is March Madness. Sitting at home and watching 2 straight days worth of college basketball tournament action is still something I treasure. The NCAA had looked to expand it’s field to 96 teams this year, a…
I’ve had to be away from home for the last week or so. To make the time away easier, Michelle and Catherine joined me for a few days. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge, which is an indoor waterpark for kids. This was…
