You heard that right—Celtlery. I’m looking for more eco-friendly merch that I can create and sell at shows. I finally packaged up one such item-Travel Celtlery. How many times do you go to a lower-end restaurant where they give you a small plastic bag filled with plastic cutlery and a napkin that smells like pepper. […]
My wife and friends tried going to a Trivia night with friends last Sunday. The one that looked most promising was in Sandy Springs. So we drove 30 minutes over there only to find the place was very smoky. Something I’m not big on. Happily, we were close to Pontoon Brewing Company. We stopped and […]

Whether your idea of a getaway is spending time on a sandy beach, exploring fascinating architecture, or hiking out in nature, Clare Island can easily accommodate you. At over 4,000 acres there’s plenty to see and experience here, and it’s also a very historic spot. While the island is not the easiest place to get […]
Croag Patrick, also known by the nickname, “The Reek” is a well-known mountain with an interesting history—located outside of the city of Westport in County Mayo. At just over 2,500 feet, it’s a fairly decent size, and it’s also a site of pilgrimage in this area of Ireland. Custom has it that St. Patrick himself […]
