Whew! This extended sort-of-winter--but it's-really-been-spring-for-a-few-months-now--weather is draining, yes? What is this feeling we only seem to feel when it seems like it has been winter forever? It's called SAD and studies show you can eat these foods to feel better.

Ever heard of Hearst Castle? It's probably one of the most architecturally significant structures in California. With its Taj Mahal vibes, Hearst Castle is considered by Architectural Digest to be one of the 13 most significant castles in the U.S

Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) puts on one heck of a show. Schafer Theater is one heck of a venue to put on a show.

Prayerfully, if you are not yet a fan of the Bridgerton series on Netflix, you’ll make haste and get that way in the coming weeks.
