I had work off on Wednesday due to the funeral proceedings for George H.W. Bush. The law firm I work for follows the government schedule, so when the federal government is closed, so are we. Let’s say I took full advantage of the free day off. I slept in, did some cleaning, watched a lot…

Bonus birthday dinners are the best. Since I am rarely back home for my birthday anymore, my parents wanted to treat me to a belated birthday celebration on my trip. My dad made a reservation at TimberCreek Tap & Table, a brewery in Grove City, PA near the outlet mall. The restaurant has an old,…
