You probably already know ― because people like me repeat it to our loved ones at least twice a week ― that you really don’t need to stick to eight glasses of H2O a day. 

Housekeeping isn't judging your mess as much as you think.

If you consider yourself a tidy person, when you’re at home, everything likely has its place. You know exactly where to put your clean and dirty clothes, leftovers go straight into the fridge, and towels are hung up on racks and over shower doors. If you have kids, their toys are (hopefully) put away on shelves and in baskets every night before bed.

Waiting for the man. The guy with the thing. What Friday and Saturday, and, for that matter, Thursday nights of college had become about: where the party was, where the afterparty was, and, in this case, who was holding. It was nothing more nefarious or contraband than a videotape, actually, but one that, in May 2004, assumed the allure of something forbidden, like whatever Nicolas Cage was going on about in 8mm.Back then, none of us had cable. But a buddy had a connect: His parents had HBO, an almost... Читать дальше...

Any rock music fan worthy of being considered as such knows that the Pacific Northwest was a major focal point of the music in the late 1980s and the 1990s.
