The Huffington Post had a story today about the five germiest places in a hotel room. Nothing on the list really surprised me, once I gave it some thought: tv remote bed comforter or duvet drinking glasses lamp/light switch housekeeping materials (the cart) But I also must admit that I don't think about these issues … Continue reading I Wonder If It’s Just as Gross at an Airbnb
I've been a fan of the Great American Pub in Wayne for a while now. It's got a nice neighborhood feel, to it, a great sidewalk for dining al fresco, and a menu that will please a variety of palates. In particular, it's one of the few non-vegan restaurants I know of that has a … Continue reading “I Love Veggie Burgers”, Said No One, Ever… Until Now
It was one of my favorite songs (and bands) to listen to on my 8-track while I was in college, and it (and they) still are today. The cover of the album (shown above) was also a classic. So I was quite happy when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame … Continue reading My Best Friend’s Girl

To be honest, I can't even remember what my life was like before then. While this is a whole new experience for … Continue reading Meet The Newest Member of the Borden Family!

From the NSW website, the National School Walkout is a movement powered and led by students across the country. NSW protests congressional, state, and local failures to take action to prevent gun violence. America is the only country in the world … Continue reading Three Cheers for the National School Walkout
I remember several years ago when I was asked to give the commencement speech at my graduation from Drexel, and I tried to start the speech with some humor (full disclosure, this was for the graduate school, and they used to rotate the graduation speaker through the various colleges. The year I graduated, it happened … Continue reading The Number One Distraction While Driving May Surprise You
I don't think that's what the makers of Candyland and Chutes and Ladders had in mind. I'm sure they envisioned their games as a way to help families have some fun and spend quality time together. But a story in today's Wall Street Journal shatters that myth. Apparently, some parents are palming cards, strategically adding … Continue reading Hey Kids! Watch Out! Your Parents Are Cheating at Board Games!
Jimmy Kimmel had a funny skit last night, "Old Jimmy Kimmel Selling Crap on TV", where him and Guillermo are selling commemorative plates of famous YouTube videos.
