I have always heard this line. The line is, no doubt, a quite famous one. And I …

I have been to Lyric Opera of Chicago twice. The first was for L’Elisir d’Amore, or The Elixir of Love, in March of 2010. The second was for Carmen in March of 2011. The Lyric Opera is a very prestigious opera house, and for good reason. I thought both …

To be honest, Mountain Dew Soda is not my style. I’ve tried it, and I don’t like it. It has an odd citrus flavor that is terribly unappealing, and it looks like something I can’t write about. There’s nothing I like about Mountain Dew Soda, except …
