The director stated that... Megan Again:A Little Hallmark Hallelujah For The Season By Megan Wirts We all have that one thing that we love, but we sometimes feel a little bit embarrassed to share with people. Things that are deemed “not cool” by the masses. It can be your secret love of the Spice Girls or your true obsession with cross stitching pictures of kittens on pillows. No one is immune to it and I think if we shared these things with others we might find more kindred spirits than we may have realized were out there. My thing, that I’m shamelessly not embarrassed about and am proud to share with the world, is something that... The Suggestion Box- Let The Jingle Begin
By N3 Entertainment Bureau This is a tough one, kind readers. I mean there’s other things going on and all, and for pity’s sake it’s been a month or so since I hit the movies and some of my favorite local and just-beyond-local dining establishments have been equally neglected in the barrage of busyness that seems to engulf so many of us these days. I’m relatively certain a couple of local bars will be having some music and it looks to be a great weekend for hiking or fishing or fire sitting and all to be sure. But the event that not only bears mentioning but is being highlighted this week creates a bit of contradiction personally because... Megan Again: And If You Swallow Watermelon Seeds….. By Megan Wirts When my younger brother was just a little boy he believed that there was an animal called a Meatloaf. According to him, this was a big hairy type of beast with big teeth and claws that people would hunt. He even told elaborate stories about how he went out and killed a Meatloaf and then our grandma cooked it up and we ate it. Nobody told him otherwise for many years and when he found out that meatloaf isn’t literally made from a creature by the name of Meatloaf, he was...

By N3 Entertainment Ensemble The staff at N3 World Headquarters and Shoe Spotting Seminary is a bit weary from a whirlwind western wander that culminated in a return just hours before putting the keyboard to work on this week’s Suggestion Box. Crossing 6 states and a couple of time zones then backtracking after a week-long visit involving hiking Halloween and hunkering in with the ¾ of our grandchildren who maintain...

When my alarm goes off each morning and I hit that snooze button, I dread crawling out of my warm and cozy cocoon of blankets because I know that I will immediately be cold. My husband and I are always battling over the thermostat and I’m always covered in many layers of clothing. If I go outside, (Brr! I’m cold just thinking about it), I am wearing a coat, hat, scarf and gloves. My kids on the other hand... |
