Tales from the Road: It’s Game Day, Ya’ll

My travels for this weekend have taken me home, well, my surrogate home of five years (yes, I was on the five-year plan), Tuscaloosa, Ala. Now, any Southerner worth their salt knows what happens on Saturdays in the fall in this region.

Ice Skating in Florida

To be quite honest, I never expected to find people taking a break from their shopping to pull on a pair of skates… but it happened. My daughter and I actually sat and watched for a half hour or so. People were having the time of their lives!!
But that leads me to the topic for this post. If there are skating rinks in California malls, could you find something similar in Florida? With the …read more
