The average guy has about a four-five year gap in his mid twenties between getting a salaried job and settling down before all ideas you and your buddies concoct on nights out slowly start to become more of a dream and less a reality. Two years ago I purchased the book Die Happy: 499 Things
I’ve always looked down on Atlantic City. I don’t know if it’s because I assumed it could never live up to Las Vegas, if it’s because I associated it with senior citizens sadly taking the bus trip down from Scranton for the day to “finally make it big”, or if it’s because the Springsteen song
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.

Have you ever stood around at a tourist attraction and thought to yourself, “well, thank God for these crowds, they’re really enriching this experience”? I’m guessing not, as ideally having a place to yourself would be the way we’d see everything. Philadelphia’s East State Penitentiary may be the exception to this. Looking through a set
I’m a public school teacher, not exactly a field one goes into to become rich quick (or at all).
