The Turkey Hill Experience isn’t a working factory tour as I first thought it was, but more of a science museum that provides the history and education of dairy culture. The building is an old silk mill with the first floor hosting a pretty impressive gift shop, and I wish we lived closer to this…
Relationships
Dear Boog, As far as I know you haven’t begun dating yet, and I can’t tell you how happy I am at that. There’s so many other things to focus on right now than a love interest. But I don’t want to come off as completely cynical here. I know more than a few couples…
#DIY Crate Desk
I had four black crates from Target that didn’t have the same use for me after I moved, and wasn’t sure what to do with them. I soon realized when stacked sideways, they were the perfect height for being a desk. I went into Lowe’s and found a 1’X6′ wood plank for about $12 that…
Struggle
Research has shown that a college grad will generate a yearly income that is $30,000 more than a high school grad. That means when people like me enter the work force without a degree behind them, things can be a bit bleak. We are talking 17 years ago now, but when I first left my…
Wild West City
If you are looking for an immersive experience in the real world, look no further than Wild West City in Stanhope, NJ. As soon as you walk through the entrance you are faced with a scene from a cheesy old western film, but that’s what makes the place so great! You’re basically there for a…

The Atlantic County Utilities Authority offers a fun Earth Day Festival every year at their Delilah Rd. location in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. There’s a ton of vendors, demonstrations, kids activities, and the coolest thing of all, a tour of their recycling plant. ACUA established a nationally recognized system to recycle, compost and dispose of…
Mistake
We see the signs everywhere now…”DUI, You can’t afford it”. What most people probably take from that is the astronomical costs for a lawyer, fines, fees, and any number of other costs that can come into play. But what really has to be thought of is that it could cost someone’s life, or even sadder,…
Long Beach Island, NJ
Once again I wanted to enjoy the shore, without shore prices, and checked into Turtle Run Campground in Egg Harbor City, NJ. It was a half hour drive to Long Beach Island, which beat my over 2 hr commute from home. I knew that I would be able to find other things to do in…
Wing Festival
Apparently there are Wing Festival’s all around the country, with the National Buffalo Wing Festival celebrating their 18th year in Buffalo, NY this Labor Day weekend. Had I known there was such a magical day, I would have looked for these events closer to me in previous years. However, this was my first year attending…
