In a lot of ways, I’m so not the target market for this TV show. Vampires were never really my thing…but make them southern vampires with werewolves, shape-shifters and a ghetto-fabulous fry cook thrown in? Well, color me addicted.

First off, let’s get the requisite fawning out of the way: I LOVE this show. It’s so campy yet well-written (and well-acted)! The writers really have Read More>

Years ago, the push for organic fruits and vegetables was born out of a few radical farmers’ resistance to the overuse of pesticides and their desire to close the gap between consumers and producers of food. Today, that small movement has morphed into a nearly 20 billion dollar industry.

“I’m sorry.”  Why is it so hard to say these two little words when it actually matters?

At times the words “I’m sorry” come out when you’re not really sorry.  At all.  Case in point: a few days back, I was walking in the neighborhood around my alma mater.  Or trying to — a (cute) guy on a bi Read More>
