More and more, I've found that my vacations involve fewer hotels and rental cars and more tents and hiking. As such, it was time for me to stop pretending that running shoes and flips flops were the proper footwear for camping trips and outdoor adventures. Not wanting to ...

Here at the SkyMall Monday world headquarters, we eat a lot. Moderation is a four-letter word, as far as I'm concerned. How can anyone expect me to eat responsibly with all these zig-zagging brownies and giant cupcakes laying around? So, as you can imagine, I'm not exactly ...

Happy Monday! Glorious summer is in full swing across the nation. This means a lot of things -- namely, summer blockbusters! I haven't been much of a moviegoer recently, but with Tranformers 2 and the new Harry Potter coming out, you bet I'll be found munching on some ...

We all want to look cool. Cool looking people are just, well, cooler than regular people. Sadly, as we get older, it becomes harder to look cool. Unless you're Sean Connery, who is just a cool old man. But I digress. Here at SkyMall Monday, it's important that we always look ...

It's Aloha Friday as they say here on the islands -- and a very special Friday at that! Today marks the beginning of the 62nd annual King Kamehameha Day festivities in Hawaii, so you can count on me enjoying the parade, draping ceremony, fun, and sun that lasts through the ...

Sadly, there are no pets in the SkyMall Monday headquarters. I travel too much to have a dog and cats are just terrible. I had a turtle once, but I had to get rid of him when I discovered that he was anti-Semitic. But I know plenty of pet owners and they always feel terrible ...

When deciding how to get to New York City from Columbus at the last minute earlier this week, airfares were hefty, even for flights with connections that may or may not happen according to schedule. Fly to New York from Columbus and you'll see what I mean. Frankly, when ...

I just returned from my first visit to Santa Barbara and I must say I was completely taken by the classy coastal town. From the college town of Isla Vista to the upscale pedestrian shopping along Main Street, there's something quintessentially Californian about this city, ...

The umbrella is such a simple device, but it has several flaws that make it less usable in today's Facebooking Twitter society - I mean, how on earth are you to keep your friends updated with the news of your latest bowel movement, if you have to use one hand to keep the ...
