The Greatest Sailing Adventure Ever!
One of the greatest sailing adventures in the world is the Haida Gwaii- Queen Charlotte Islands journey by Maple Leaf Adventures. It is a dream excursion which I took with my 14 year-old daughter. Together we explored the wildlife, nature, history and Aboriginal heritage of Canada’s northwest Pacific coast. Rich
It’s All Just Greek to Me

Many are unfamiliar with the Greek wine selection and there is a reason for that. Greeks make wine from unusual (to us) and unfamiliar grape varieties and many

Death of the Paper Receipt

From Stage to Silver Screen Doug Phillips Finds Himself in The Righteous Tithe
It is Sunday afternoon, the ten year anniversary of 9/11. I walk into a coffee shop in Westborough, and see my interview subject waiting for me. I think about the state of affairs in the world, and recognize the 9/11 connection to the interview I am about to conduct. Doug
A Visit to the County

Legal Sea Foods Ads Miss the Boat
“Save the crab. Save it to show that every creature is sacred, no matter how small.” The first five seconds of the new ad campaign by Legal Sea Foods sounds more like a public service announcement about ocean conservation than an ad for a restaurant. Combined with peaceful music and

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer – Creature Feature Almost Achieves Cult Movie Status
Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (filmed in Ottawa in 2007) is a slickly packaged low-budgeter that almost makes it as a cult classic, but falls short due to its languid pace. No wonder Brookstreet Pictures has yet to produce a sequel, even though director Jon Knautz told Icons of Fright webzine
