Here We Go Again

Here in Boston, two of the more popular magazines – Boston Magazine and the Improper Bostonian – release their “Best Of” issues this time every year which highlight the best night clubs, restaurants, entertainment, spas, pubs, sports bars, and heath clubs the city (and the surrounding areas) has to offer.

Eggs on Their Faces

Just wanted to share a really nice article sent to me the other day by a reader of my blog (thanks Justin) titled Eggs on Their Faces, which provides a nice commentary on just how out of touch our government is with regards to their oftentimes misguided dietary recommendations.

Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday
