Great places to visit, excellent restaurants, casual eating places, walking for fun, interest, and entertainment, and where to find the best cheesesteak sandwiches are things visitors expect when in Philadelphia. It’s easy to collect to-do things because this city gets better every year. And more people know this because more people are coming as tourists, [...]
You are a warrior… Stay strong, rest up and we love you…

Boston Legal with its cast of outrageous, hilarious characters is a show I’m going to miss a lot once it’s off the air. The show slips in nuggets of wisdom from one-line sentences, or from trial summations, frequently providing food for thought. The writers of the show are brilliant, the producer and writer, David E.

Last night I watched a PBS documentary called ILLICIT (Illicit: “an illegitimate seizure of power” www.dictionary.com), and as I watched I became increasingly saddened.

Music played throughout the grounds, carefully chosen colors lent beauty to the eyes of patients; flowers, plants and herbs were everywhere.

Is it true that computers are made to last only a year? That’s what a friend of mine was told when she called about her computer that suddenly stopped working. No help at that number.
