She creeps through the streets, her head low, avoiding eye contact with passersby. Her identity must remain hidden, yet she feels the gazes of those who walk past her, she can feel them turn their heads to eye her attire, her gate, her person, sizing up the opposition. No one must discover who she really is and what she really stands for once they do, her cover will be blown. For few know her true identity - she is a Denver Broncos fan.

Starting the new year off right with a visit to the recycling center is a good thing. In fact, any visit to the recycling center is good because you are doing your part to help save the earth…even in a small way. Lots of little ways can add up to big results when they are done right.

Of all the pop culture institutions to be canceled, ended, or otherwise shut down by the pandemic in 2020, the permanent closure of the “Mean Girls” Broadway musical was perhaps the one that disappointed me the most. I’m not sure why it wasn’t brought back post-pandemic – ticket sales had clearly been healthy enough to keep me from scoring cheap seats during its two-year run – all I knew was that the show was gone and I had missed all 833 chances to see it live.
