Mother's Day
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are torturous enough in their own right, but tack on a nine to five, cooking dinner, doing the dishes and putting us to bed each night for years and years and you’ve got the hardest job known to (wo)man.

The Hi-Life Tastes Like Meat and Potatoes

Low-Hanging Fruit: Zach Snyder’s Meh-pic Battle
All week, bloodthirsty critics have devoured “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” spat it back out and described what an awful taste it left in their mouths.

But when the credits rolled 106 minutes later, I felt like I had wasted an eternity on an overstuffed, aimless, meaningless disaster of a movie. Simply put, it is the worst film the Coen Brothers have ever made.
My Long Awaited Journey To WWE Live
On Saturday night, I went to the SAP Center and watched WWE wrestlers throw down in front of a raucous, sold-out crowd.
The City Fish Comes Fresh From the Sea
With a menu that includes the entire ocean, a staff that is funny and friendly and an unpretentious execution of signature dishes, The City Fish serves up fresh, high-end seafood at a hole in the wall location in Downtown San Jose.
