It was bad timing when I realized that I was still afraid of heights while standing on an exposed cliff. After about 10 minutes of panicking, however, I realized that I didn’t have much of a choice but to face my fears and finish the Beehive Trail at Acadia National Park, revealing a ...
I always admired my wife because of her ability to know a little bit about everything, but a recent trip by her to the West Coast for a week really made me appreciate her more than anything. She runs the household with a firm hand and a memory like no other, which is fine because my hands are not steady and my ability to recall past events is starting to go at age 61.

American pop star Olivia Rodrigo and I were born 62 days apart. She was born on Feb. 20, 2003, and I was born on April 24, 2003. I usually start planning for my birthday when she posts about hers on social media. I grew up with Rodrigo as she rose to stardom quite early. I followed her ...
Despite being a free experience for the first time, Pokemon Go Fest will have a lot of trainers breaking their banks to play the event, which will undoubtedly generate hundreds of millions in revenue. In celebration of Pokemon Go’s 10-year anniversary, Go Fest is technically free this year because all trainers who log in during the July 11-12 event will receive special research awarding a Zeraora encounter and additional bonuses, such as an increased chance of encountering shiny Pokemon, at no cost.
