A few weeks ago I saw the Opening Night of the sense and sensibility by Jane Austin at the Annie Russell Theatre. Sense and sensibility represented by the characters of two sisters.

Why I am gluten free series, Part Three: Science!
I have a confession to make. I splurged on gluten-digesting enzymes and took them to Europe. And chowed down on bread: pasta, pizza, croissants, baguettes, pita. IT WAS AH-MAZING.

They’re Listening…
Your devices are listening. To you. All of the time. This is crazy. Ok, you don't have to put the aluminum foil on your head. Well, you don't have to because the devices can't read your mind.
