Twenty-Four Hours in the Forest
I have spent an enormous part of my life in the forest. I grew up beside one, going on fairy hunts and collecting plants for my potions—which were really just stinky mud water mixed in an old pot my granny had thrown out, while I pretended to be the witch of the woods.

My Day, My Way. Runner-Up in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
Want to spend a day with me? Let’s see what my perfect twenty-four hours look like. I’m retired, so I’ll stay in bed until I feel like getting up. When I wake up, I will doze for a bit before waking again. Then I’ll lie there a while, letting random thoughts float through my mind. After reciting what day it is, I'll decide the order of my perfect day. I won’t make myself get up early and get busy. I will move slowly and deliberately, breathing deeply. When I get out of bed, I must first push up the blackout shades; then the glorious morning greets me through the window.

Taste Toast Travel Podcast
Anyone who knows me has to put up with my bugaboo about bad podcast names. I always feel that an indie podcaster puts their heart and soul into developing a podcast with months of thought and planning, and then, at the last minute, decides on a name in seconds. It’s like their energy is drained and this is good enough. Doesn’t matter that there are three other podcasts with the same name. “They will find us.”

Nothing to Do
Everyone I know when you ask them “What would be your perfect day?” Most people answer with “I would drop off the kids at a grandparents and do nothing” well reader, let me take you on a journey about doing nothing. However, I find myself to be childless in these circumstances, so I think I can even say I am close the expert level of doing nothing.

Next-generation aircraft under development aim to enhance pilot effectiveness through advanced automation and improved data sharing. Unmanned combat aerial vehicles may increasingly operate alongside manned fighters, expanding mission capabilities while reducing risks to human pilots.

Bermuda Is Not the Caribbean—and 8 Other Things Smart Travelers Should Know Before Booking
Bermuda is easy to dream about. Pink sand, impossibly blue water, pastel buildings and polished resorts do most of the convincing before a traveler has checked a single flight.
