One of the first bonfires I recall was when I was probably 5 or 6 years old and it was the Fourth of July and my family was at a summer cottage on Lake Erie. Family friends were also there and the cottage had a great little beach where we had a bonfire to roast [...]
Bananas are an interesting topic as they are definitely not all created equal and if you ask anyone who eats bananas, they will likely each have a personal preference for the type of banana they like best. I recently felt as though I was in Jack Johnson’s song “Banana Pancakes” as I ate banana and [...]
How much would someone have to pay you in order for you to shave your head? How about $1200 or maybe even $2000? What if you were then to give all that money to charity, to help fund research for children’s cancer? If you saw all the people that shaved their heads recently at Fado’s [...]
The first concert I ever went to (not counting the Raffi concert my parents took me too when I was little) was to see the Allman Brothers at Merriweather Stadium in ninth grade. It was summer; my friends and I had older friends with cars. We piled in with coolers, food, and mixed tapes. We [...]
