You’ll Never Guess What I Put in My Iced Tea for a Healthy Snack

I’m a snacks guy for sure. Chips, pretzels, crackers, you get the idea. If it’s crunchy and there’s salt, I’m all over it. I know, those really aren’t what you’d call healthy snack ideas. But I’ve been making slight changes over the year. Months ago I stopped drinking soda cold turkey. Now it’s just water and unsweetened iced tea. As for the snacks, well considering the crazy sweltering sticky humid days we’ve had all summer, to …

5 Things I Hate About Flying

For years I’ve heard her drop a hint here or there. She’ll tell her friends, “Oh my God, yes! 4022 or 4023, right?” It’s too short for a zip code or …

by Andrew Kardon

Woof! Yes, it’s National Dog Day today! Now while that’s certainly something to bark about, I’m a little sad that we don’t currently own a dog. Not yet at least. But as someone who grew up with a cute li’l Shih-Tzu named Muffin (Shush. I had no say in naming him! I wanted to go with Gowron!), I am a 100% big dog lover. So to help ease my suffering today, I plan on petting …
