Spending the 4th of July in Colonial Williamsburg

Last week we took a mini vacation down to Williamsburg, Virginia. We went with Allie’s cousin Ivy (the same wacky group we vacationed in Niagara Falls with earlier this year) and had a blast at Busch Gardens, Water Country and Colonial Williamsburg. Despite the crazy traffic right outside Washington, D.C., (Seriously, can they do something about that? It’s worse than NYC and San Francisco combined!), we really enjoyed ourselves. The weather cooperated fairly well, though …

I’ve Got Pac-Man Mug Fever

I haven’t had Pac-Man Fever since, geez, elementary school I guess. You kids today are probably way too young to remember Buckner and Garcia’s classic Pac-Man Fever tune.

Back in high school, I remember wasting hours and hours of class time just trying to twirl …

With the Schick Hydro 5, Shaving is Like a Party On My Face

#MakeItEpic

You may not believe me, but it is true. Back in the 1990s, I won an office Beard Off! A large handful of the guys in the office (all of us in our early 20s), joined in. We started the month completely clean shaven and then had a full 6 weeks to grow the fullest, bestest beard ever. Some had splotchy blonde beards. Others had all of three hairs on their chinny chin chins. The …
