There is no surer sign that spring is on the way than hearing the crack of the bat, the cheers from the crowd and the sight of saliva being expunged from players’ mouths. Baseball is the great American pastime. If you are a baseball purist, or simply someone who appreciates sitting out in the sun eating junk food and drinking overpriced watered down beer, going to spring training will be something you’ll cherish forever.

Trivia buffs and fans of history will know that it was Julius Caesar who coined the phrase “Veni, Vidi, Vici”, “I came, I saw, I conquered” before he invented the Caesar salad.

The New Year brings new hope and all those new resolutions that you’ll probably break after about a week. If one of your resolutions is to get into better shape, perhaps you could set your sights high and start training for the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii.

Ah yes, the childhood memories that come to mind when one thinks of Christmas and mullets. There is of course that classic tale of the Grinch who Stole Christmas, which takes place in the town of Mulletville. There is also that unforgettable movie, It’s a Wonderful Mullet. And who could ever forget that the most famous reindeer of them all was shunned by his peers not because of his shiny red nose but because he was all business in the front and all party in the back? The mullet and Christmas go together like bread and butter.
Some people are really into the New Year’s holiday. I am not one of those people. I find that there is always a lot of pressure to have the time of your life and usually you are lucky to just have a good time. People who normally don’t drink very much end up drinking too much.
