Body odor comes in all shapes and sizes, from all directions. The first culprit can be bad breath. Some experts recommend tooth brushing twice a day, and flossing. Some also recommend using a tongue scraper, but never in the middle of a party, especially if one is serving finger food. To check your own breath, lick the back of your freshly washed hand, wait for the saliva to evaporate, then smell it. Never lick a dirty hand, or one that […]
Yes, it’s that special time when boys and girls wave goodbye to the family, wait for the bus, then travel to meet a new instructor. Sadly, I once boarded the wrong bus and ended up at a senior citizens' basketball tournament. But that's another story. On the plus side, a new school term allows students to get reacquainted with old classmates and find out if the cafeteria still serves “mystery meat,” then guess what reptile it comes from. On the […]
I got a letter asking me this: “Dandelions will grow in my yard, even if I spray weed killer on them, or cut them up. But I have never, ever been able to raise a dandelion in a pot! Why is this?” My first thought was, “Why did somebody ask me? I know only three things about flowers…they’re pretty, brides carry them at weddings, and my wife likes to receive them almost anytime. (Note to self: Think about buying wife […]
It's August, and the weather's so steamy I'm now taking two showers a day. I also use deodorant twice daily, and I smell so pretty I'm falling in love with myself all over again. Speaking of body odor, long ago ancient people experimented with several underarm deodorants, including cinnamon and citrus. Then cannibals moved nearby, and found the smell irresistible. So, they originated the expression, “Let’s have the neighbors over for dinner.” In modern days, dedicated scientists tested underarm sweat. […]
Few cities can match Prague's over-the-top romance, evocative Old World charm…or its tourist crowds. To escape the masses and experience more of the real Czech Republic, take a bus or train ride outside of the city to see some of the many worthwhile sights just beyond. My three favorites are a rich medieval town, a sobering concentration camp memorial, and a grand Czech castle. Kutná Hora, a beautifully preserved and down-to-earth town, is just a one-hour direct train ride from […]
You could be either be the newest fan of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) or a fan dating as far back as the Capitol Wrestling days and may never truly know everything about the pioneer of sports entertainment. Add Figure Four Daily editor/publisher, Wrestling Observer Live host and semi-retired professional wrestler Bryan Alvarez into the fold to educate the masses about WWE in his recent book 100 Things WWE Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die. (Editor's Note: Wrestling Observer Live can be […]
Whoever came up with the idea of business must have been a genius. Without it, we would probably have no money, no banks, no stores, and – worst of all – no fashion. Business is likely as old as the first person who wanted to trade one thing for another. One Neanderthal approached a neighbor, asking, “How about me trade you this fine milk cow for your cranky goat?” The second man misunderstood…and swapped his brother for a cow. But […]
When travel dreams take people to Europe, Italy is often their first stop. There's something seductively charming about this country, its people, and la dolce vita. I always feel at home in Italy, whether struggling onto a crowded bus in Rome, navigating the fun chaos of Naples, sipping a cocktail in a Venetian bar, or sitting on the banister of Florence's Ponte Vecchio for a midnight street-music concert. But I also seek escapes from Italy's urban intensity. When I'm visiting Rome, […]
I'm often inspired by families on the road. Last summer, on a ferry between Scotland's Oban and the Isle of Mull, I met a family from Texas. The parents were taking their kids on a year-long adventure through Europe and told me how they'd realized there's no better education or quality family time than traveling together — and I wholeheartedly agree. The key is balancing educational sightseeing with fun activities. After years of traveling with me around Europe, my kids […]
