Cogswell In For A Change
Ah, the Cogswell Interchange, AKA Halifax Logo Classic. Man do people hate that stretch of over/underpasses, foxhole-sized potholes and ugliness. (For other opinions see this.) But like spring’s first crocus pushing through the beaten, salty dirt—or Superman—a beacon of hope has finally appeared.

One kind day
I only want one of my three sisters in my wedding party. Do I have none of them stand with me, or choose the one and do damage control? You should not feel pressured to ask anyone you’re not close with to be in your bridal party. The main thing to keep in mind when […]
