While visiting Canada, I got the chance to walk on the ocean floor and see the Hopewell Rocks, also known as the Flowerpot Rocks. The natural formation of these rocks in New Brunswick have resulted in many of them being given names such as Elephant, Bear, Dinosaur, ET and Mother-In-Law.

When I saw "I Don't Want To Go Home: The Oral History Of The Stone Pony" in Barnes & Noble, I had to pick it up for many reasons. Obviously, I spent many evenings in The Stone Pony as an audience member, a band manager or a representative of FRED's Papers and The Rag. The Stone Pony's story could have been written in numerous volumes as if it were an Encyclopedia. I have to give kudos to Nick Corasaniti for doing a great job of keeping it to one book that is loaded with many facts and recollections.

After experiencing the trolley tour of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, quite an appetite was worked up. And the perfect place is directly across the street from where the trolley ride ends. Molly Maguire's is all that and more from what you would expect at an Irish Pub. With it being a gorgeous day outside, the ice cold beer on tap was the perfect thirst quencher.
