As a born and bred Bostonian, it comes as no surprise where my allegiances will lie this Sunday. But for you football fans out there not so fortunate as to have your favorite squad in the granddaddy of them all, let me convince you as to why the (morally) right call is to root for New England in Super Bowl XVLI. As an American, its borderline sacrilegious not to pull for the Patriots. I mean, they’re the Patriots. Patriots won us our freedom, taking down the “giant” and tyrant King George III and Great Britain (pun obviously intended). If that had you convinced, great, but to be completely Continue reading >>>

Every time my wife and I drive south on I-95 we celebrate surviving the horror show that is driving through NYC by stopping at the Vince Lombardi Rest Area along the New Jersey Turnpike for a quick bite to eat. (Travel note: It’s really a lovely rest area, located Continue reading >>>
