I’m sitting here typing completely exhausted and sore in places I never expected to be sore, all because I partook in a yoga class this morning. My uncle and cousins have been attending weekly yoga classes at Studio Be in Forest City, PA (I’m home for Christmas) and have been trying to get me to

This past fall, three college friends and I got tickets to Dropkick Murphy’s “Sham Rock N’ Roll Tour”, a mini Irish musical festival with Dropkick as the headlining act. The concert was on a Sunday night at 5:00 at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. Never ones to go to a show sober (especially an Irish
For the last three years, my friends in Manayunk have hosted a University of Scranton Christmas party the Friday before Christmas break and every year for the last three years that same group takes the ride into Philly on Saturday to see the band Secret Service perform at Finnegan’s Wake.

Ugly Christmas sweater parties are nothing new or revolutionary, I’ll admit to this. What they are, is a lot of fun. Two years ago my friends and I started our first annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Bar Crawl, held sometime between Christmas and New Years so that those living outside of NEPA (myself) can participate.

Now I’m a snow guy and usually start getting annoyed when it’s still nice out later in late fall. However, I couldn’t help but enjoy the warm Thanksgiving break we just had. Snow would have put a damper on my Turkey Eve plans and I got two tennis sessions in which is all but unheard
My friend was telling me recently how they were on the deck at Mad River in Manayunk and witnessed a kayak bar crawl coming down the river. While the idea of a kayak bar crawl is awesome (I saw one advertised when I was in Pittsburgh that I’d definitely do when I’m back there), the thought of
I spent four years living and five years going to school in Scranton. I’m still mildly obsessed with my experience at The University of Scranton and will leave you with that disclaimer before continuing with the rest of this post. I remember once during my tenure at Scranton, a bunch of us were out and
