During a recent visit to Malta, I visited the Casa Rocca Piccola in Valletta. It’s a sixteenth-century palace privately owned by the family of the Marquis de Piro, who still live there and have turned the public rooms into a museum. You can only visit it with a guided tour, but as our guide was…
What do you do, bring your lunch to work (or school) or eat out? Or do you do a mix of both? I’ve brought my lunch to work for years, allowing myself an occasional lunch out, maybe once every two weeks or so. For me, it was not only the more economical option, but also…
As the fall TV season approaches, I’m looking forward to the start of my two favorite fall reality shows, Survivor and The Amazing Race. While I’ve watched Dancing With the Stars most seasons, I’m less than enthused about the cast announced for the upcoming season. I’ll give DWTS a try this fall, but unless there…

It took me a while to even understand what they were talking about, and some of the stuff I really don’t get (hello Meaning of Life).

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL9xOLpwI0I I hate grocery shopping. It’s right up there with dusting and cleaning the litter box as my least favorite — but necessary — household duties. Most of my friends can’t understand my aversion to grocery shopping. But for me, what’s fun about it. You spend money on something that’s going to disappear all too…
The beginning of the school year also brings an annual buzz to T-Dot: For two and a half weeks, the cinematic world gets to focus on our fair city for the Toronto International Film Festival.
It’s that time of year. Back to School Time. Today is my first day of classes of my senior year of college. I guess that means this is my last first day of school. I bought new folders and notebooks, dug my planner out of a box, and need to get ready to head to…
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCmogoGpnxg&feature=related Thanks to a friend, I’m now hooked on Horrible Histories clips at You Tube. And it’s happy I am for that addiction. I had seen some of the original Horrible Histories books in England. They’re fun, they’re informative, and sometimes they’re a bit gross (and what kid doesn’t like that?). Or as their website…
