As the daylight hours diminish, I harbor no nostalgia for mounting winter tires, finding the window scrapers or digging out the snow shovels. A roaring fire in the fire place, a pile of books in front of me, a steaming mug of hot chocolate at my side — that's a picture to paint a smile o...

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease and death, claiming the lives of more than 440,000 adults in America e...

He laughed about fighting the Battle of Bayonne. Still, he and all other vets took time out of their lives to contribute to our safety, and we...
