I saw an interesting article at travelandleisure.com that mapped out what vacations would best suit you based on your zodiac sign. So, I had to checkout what they had to say about my zodiac sign. I'm a Virgo (Sept.22nd) last day of being a Virgo, so I also looked at Libra as well.

If you are planning some 'Stay-cations' this summer, there are no limits to your options, right here in Maine. Take a look at what You Tuber, Tyler Neville enjoyed last summer. Tyler, along with his GoPro Hero 4 Silver, captured beautiful adventures from the mountains to waterfalls, and a lot more...

The summer vacation season starts in nine days, but who's counting? Maine is Vacationland and it seems like the word is out. The website Thrillist.com has complied their list of the 'Best Vacation Spots in the US for Relaxing'. One Maine location made the list.

A few weeks ago, tracking for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was supposedly in the toilet. Early reports suggested that Tom Cruise’s fifth outing as super-spy Ethan Hunt was not getting people excited. This would be the end, the experts said, of a franchise that has kept Cruise’s career surging forward for the past two decades. Well, that was apparently a big load of crap because Rogue Nation opened well and opened in the same ballpark as the rest of the franchise. Even with inflation differences, this series keeps on hitting the same box office sweet spot.

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

Tourism in Maine is down this summer, at least when it comes to Canadians coming to vacation in the state due to a lagging dollar.

Vacation is over. The transition back to work after a vacation is always somewhat difficult for me because of being out of the loop. Don't get me wrong, it will be nice to get back on the air and talk to you and be with my co-workers.

The new Vacation may bear the same name as the old Vacation, but it’s actually a sequel, taking place a few decades after the first ill-fated Griswold family trip to Walley World. The first trailer for this new version has arrived and while it has the same title and premise as its predecessor, it bends over backwards to let you know that Ed Helms is the same Rusty Griswold from 32 years ago, all grown up. Can we call this a rebootquel?

My vacation is over and now it's back to work. Some of the highlights over the past week, or lowlights as much of this time off consisted of work, including shoveling the roof, taking care of the driveway, once or twice and replacing a floodlight on the outside wall of the house. My vacation wasn't all work. I had fun too.

It's vacation week for me. I want to first thank those who do my work while I'm out, Andy, Matt and Mac primarily and whoever else takes on extra, I thank them as well.  What am doing this week while I'm out?

As you may have noticed I've taken the week off. It's part vacation, and partly to make sure things go smoothly while work is being done at the house.

Back to work today, the hardest part about coming back to work is getting caught up, reoriented and back in gear. Off the top I want to thank Matt James, Mac Dickson, Andy and whoever else picked my detail while I was away.

Phew, back from vacation.  Not just any vacation, but a trip to a foodie city, New Orleans. I have to tell you I was nervous about this vacation and maintaining my recent weight loss.  Well, I did it.  In fact I lost two pounds. Thank you ‘Mend-A-Body Solutions For Wellness & Waistline Management’ for helping me to help myself.

Just when you thought 'Community' ensured Chevy Chase would be out of our hair for a while and the Ed Helms continuation of National Lampoon's 'Vacation' franchise had collapsed, in comes ABC with a TV reunion of the famous road trip family's parents, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo!

On Tuesday, over my vacation, I spent it at St. Mary’s Hospital with my wife waiting for her during surgery. She was ready to go in but I was freaking even though it wasn’t me. When the doctor told me it would take two to two and half hours, I knew I could leave and I did, but only for about an hour. I grabbed lunch and took my 6th grade son out of school early because as it worked out, she would

As some of you may know, I was on vacation last week. No, I didn’t go away, so I guess it was a ‘staycation’ as we’ve now termed it. So, what did I do?
