Happy Friday the 13th - muwahahaha! I always associate Friday the 13th with the movie, but did you know that superstition attached to the ominous date is actually rooted in ancient times? Apparently Friday has historically been considered unlucky, (read full article)
I think the heat may have affected my brain, because I thought it’d be a terrific idea to go running in the 97 degree Saharan desert that has become Iowa after work. It was pure insanity and I had to walk half of the last mile. I thought I (read full article)
