Indications We Should Follow
Sometimes when I’m driving, especially in Northern Virginia, I wish all drivers were part of a hive mind. If you’re wondering what I mean by this, look to season 2, episode 3 of the ever popular show, Rick and Morty. In this episode, Rick and Morty visit a planet that has been assimilated into the … Read More
Safety on the Water
About a year ago I went kayaking with some friends on the Potomac River. We decided to land on the shore and do some hiking. While disembarking from my kayak, I managed to gracefully slip and fall right into the shallows of the Potomac River. Covered in water and mud, pretty embarrassed around a couple … Read More
On The Road With Curcio Bergeron
What with people threatening to move to Canada pending the November Elections (though Pokemon Go hasn’t debuted there so minds may have changed!) and the fact that it’s summer, which means VACATION for the young ones, wanted to blog about safe travel practices to adopt before embarking on your adventures! Traveling should be a part … Read More
One Day Out There
Between Snowzilla last weekend and The Great Freeze this past week, winter is finally upon us and making up for lost time. It was fun at first, jumping into snow drifts that covered our heads (preferably in bathing suits), getting a few days off (or if you’re a teacher, a full week), but with all … Read More
Winter is Here!
I love snow more than most people. When it begins to flurry outside I’m the first to run out and frolic in the flakes, often miming Lucy from Charlie Brown about the various flavors of snowflakes depending on the month. This past week we have been bombarded with news and warnings of Winter Storm … Read More

As a perpetual procrastinator, gift buying and completing errands in general happen much later than they should and holiday express shipping kills me. But, the drones never took off, much to the chagrin of … Read More
Don’t Drop the Ball this New Years
The year is winding down. Between Buzzfeed “Best Moments of 2015” articles, to Jib Jab’s “Year in Review” we have a lot to look back on and even more to look forward to. In 2016 a presidential election of massive proportions will take place, kale may no longer be a super food, and media might … Read More
Ignorance Ain’t Bliss on the Road
When I was a freshman in college I was not allowed a car on campus. So one cold night in December, during finals, a whole bunch of us wanted McDonalds, which was about 3 miles off campus down Richmond Road, the main road in Williamsburg. As none of us had cars, I volunteered to bike … Read More
Don’t Toke and Drive
Don’t Toke and Drive Marijuana, Cannabis, Greens, Mary Jane, Cush, Dank, Weed—there are a lot of names for the odd numbered leaved plant that causes a lot of heartache in this country. But with 23 states and the District of Columbia legalizing Marijuana to some degree, it’s becoming more readily accessible, and consumed more frequently. … Read More
