MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 4 “The Coldest Day of December” The interesting thing about mute swans is that they mate for life. They reach maturity around 2 years of age and that’s when they start scouring the pond for available males and females. The pond turns into a veritable bar scene on…

One of my favorite singers, bar-none, almost wasn’t. That’s right. Her career almost never got started at the ripe old age of sixteen. She was sent to an audition at a famous singing hall because of the sound of her voice. A voice that was so sweet it sounded like angels carrying spoons of dripping…
Apparently Granny Panties Are Hazardous to National Security! My grandmother was a very interesting and quirky lady indeed.

While browsing around on SmartBargains.com I discovered a brand called XCVI. My first impression was that XCVI was a laid-back brand offering relaxed and chic fashion made primarily from cotton. The brand falls in the mid price range for me; not cheap, but not expensive either. Most items cost under $100. I was super excited…
