Vacation

This job is legit and it could be the greatest gig on the panet.

Military, police, correction officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, EMS and CNA personnel will receive special admissions discounts this July at the Lake George amusement park.

Need a break from the grey winter days of February? Not surprising, but what may surprise you is that February is not the cloudiest month of the year in upstate NY.

Where are you now able to go in Europe thanks to Norwegian Air being at Stewart Airport?

Did you ever start a book and never finish it? Why don't we make more time to read? It could be our Netflix subscription or just the fact that our vacations are to short.

No matter where you go on a trip or a vacation it is never complete until you have selected something to read.

Thomas Rhett is gearing up for the CMT Suits and Boots Tour with Brett Eldredge this fall and he's also getting ready to release his sophomore album. "Tangled Up" comes out on September 25th which gives us a few weeks to get pumped for it. TR was nice enough to release a few sneak peeks from the album...

A few weeks ago, tracking for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was supposedly in the toilet. Early reports suggested that Tom Cruise’s fifth outing as super-spy Ethan Hunt was not getting people excited.

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

With summer fast approaching conversation turns to summer vacation ideas. Not much to discuss for me, I am going to make my annual trek to Nantucket.
