Studying Newfoundland history in grade school, I heard rumblings about pirates.

With the US thanksgiving holiday, increased security measures at US airports got a lot of attention, and criticism from passengers. Facebook has a swell of activity from US passengers with its “national opt out” day, and news stories have covered everything from John Tyner’s “don’t touch my junk” to SNL’s parody skit about TSA’s “it’s our

I’m no giddy romantic. But on July 29th, 1981, I rose very early to watch Diana marry Charles at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The pomp and circumstance was so intriguing to watch. Course, that stuff of fairytales unravelled to be a bit of a dark murder mystery kinda nightmare, but then again – I like those

Today’s families have to contend with issues that I don’t remember from my school days. Growing up, I didn’t know anyone with peanut allergies, and despite oodles of my mom’s homecooked options, one of my brothers lived on a steady diet of peanut butter sandwiches. He would’ve starved if he couldn’t have taken pb&j to school. Today, food allergies
