Quick and Easy Romance Tip

This week’s tip is simple…Read to your wife. Don’t know what to read? “Ask” her! The great thing about reading is that you can read different things to her at different times and in different ways. Whisper a sweet poem in her ear to be romantic or read aloud a motivational passage to lift her spirits. Does she like to garden? Then find out something about her favorite plant or flower and tell her about it while she relaxes outside. You decide. And don’t be discouraged if this tip isn’t for her or you. You never know till you try . You may both end up really enjoying it. Happy reading.


Why to watch Penn State vs Ohio State?

This week Penn State, ranked 3rd in the country, takes on Ohio State; who is ranked11th. Joe Paterno, Penn State’s head coach, will be 82 years young in December. In this, his 59th season as a Coach for Penn State and his 43rd pacing the sidelines as Head Coach; “JoePa”, as the student body calls him, has the Nittany Lions poised to compete for a National Championship.

Is this a big game? JoePa has not won at Ohio State since 1978. What a nice little October treat for Penn State to go into Columbus and take the Buckeye's down. Even if you are not a college football fan, and you could care less about who wins the game, if you get a chance watch a little of it just to check out Joe-Pa. He’s awesome. I guess 82 is the new 50?

Penn State 45 Ohio State 17.

Can You Fall In Love With a Pair of Shoes?

(My MBT's)
Whether it is tennis sneakers or dress shoes, if I liked the way it looked and it was in my price range, I bought it. Laura would like me to mention that my price range was $14.99 and under and my shoes of choice were Kirkland Signatures bought, of course, at one of my favorite places, Costco.

That was until I was introduced to MBTs. (Masai Barefoot Technology). MBTs’ design is based on the African Masai Tribesman who walk around barefoot and have practically no back or joint problems. The shoes try to replicate what the body experiences when walking barefoot. Laura has been wearing her MBTs for two years now and for about two years I have been hearing about how great these shoes are. Recently I got a pair of my own as a gift. At first I admit I was reluctant to say I liked them but if Laura and I ever have another child his or her name could be Masai. Okay, I wouldn’t take it that far but you get my point, these shoes are amazing. Every time I take a step in them I feel like I’m doing something good for my body.

Indoor Air worse than Outdoor Air?

This year, as a birthday gift for my Dad, I bought my parents a Peace Lily for their home. We have about 7 of our own. Besides being beautiful house plants, Peace Lilies also eliminate VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) from the indoor air which I just recently learned is more polluted than outdoor air. Adding a Peace Lily to your home decor is a great way brighten up a room and they are very easy to take care of even if you do not have a green thumb. If you’ve been thinking of getting an indoor plant or just want to add to the ones you have, try the Peace Lily. Your lungs will be glad you did!
