When I was but 10 tender years old, I saw a trailer for Bed of Roses, a Christian Slater vehicle that—at the time—seemed to embody the absolute height of romance. (I was not allowed to see the movie, as it was rated R. Oddly, I was allowed to see Jerry Maguire that same year.) According to the preview, which I have…

You don’t have to be a true football fan to make the most of a Super Bowl party. The big game is a perfect excuse to get together with your friends, huddle around some buffalo chicken dip, and day-drink to the point where you find yourself emotionally invested in car commercials.

For prospective home buyers who weren’t lucky enough to get into the game before the pandemic, the hope of a housing market crash may be the one thing to hold onto following month after month of rising prices and quick sales.

Your opinions on Valentine’s Day don’t matter. “But the holiday is made up!” you cry. “All holidays are made up,” I calmly reply. “We live in a society.”
