Night at the Museum: Cleveland’s ‘A Christmas Story’ House

Want to spend Christmas reliving the classic holiday film ‘A Christmas Story?’ You could catch the 24-marathon of the movie on TBS or TNT on Christmas Eve.

Santa’s North Pole: Not Fake News!

The rumors start earlier every year, now well before Thanksgiving, just like the ads for diamonds, drones, and dolls. I guess they are an improvement over the rumors and attack ads whenever we have an election, but these seemed just, well, mean-spirited. I was hearing it rumored that Santa wasn’t real, and the North Pole workshop was just an urban legend. Perhaps it was the Grinch and his boys, or Scrooge and his social media team. “Fake News!” they said. “BS” (as in Bushido Samurai) I said.

You’ve likely heard “Pura Vida” in relation to Costa Rica – it’s a way of life – and evident with just about everyone you meet.  I, for one, needed […]

Off the Beaten Path: Holiday Escapes in Puerto Rico

My SCUBA diver instructor Captain Cachi checks my gear one last time, and we start slowly descending into the waves of La Parguera Bay in Puerto Rico. This is my first dive ever, and I’m both thrilled and nervous. I have done the basic diving exercises a few dozen times while still on the boat: Learning how to […]
