February 19th is Presidents Day, a federal holiday here in the United States.
Originally, the holiday was designated as Washington’s Birthday, and was celebrated on George Washington’s actual date of birth, February 22nd. In 1971, however, as part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, the holiday was moved to the third Monday in February. The holiday […]
Details: This past week has been NBA All-Star week in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it all comes to a head on Sunday, February 18th when the 2007 All-Star game is played in the Thomas & Mack Center. (The game will be televised on TNT, for those not in Las Vegas.)

Time is running short for nominations for the 2007 Travvies. A new award, designed to recognize blogs and bloggers toil away on the subject of travel, nominations will remain open until 8 am (CT) on Monday, February 12th.

I’m a big animal lover. I have two cats ““ adorably warm, furry, and cuddly creatures.
When it comes to other members of the animal kingdom, with very few exceptions, they all trigger the “aahhhh” factor. Judging from how frequently animals are turning up in movies and commercials, it’s clear that I’m not the only one […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve made a trip to New York City, and looking through recent information about current museum exhibits, it’s clear that I must plan a trip soon.
