GREEK APHRODISIAC
Greek food happens to be something I know a bit about... The delicious Baklava with a history traced back to the eighth century, BC is a go-to dessert in our home...Especially if you are looking for a bit of romance.

There are many good recipes online but one that is good comes from Greek Senator Olympia Snowe .

Between the Olympics and 'anything Greek' searches on the rise this dessert is all the rage...

HAIR MUSEUM
In my previous professional life I produced live segments for national TV about the weird and wacky people of America.

One I will always remember in Missouri was Leila Cohoon who not only runs a hair dressing school but in one room she has a Hair Museum.

What she displays are over 2,000 pieces of jewelry containing, or made of, human hair. It's wild. She also has memorial wreaths also made from human hair.

If cloning ever happens this place is a gold mine...Leila's Hair Museum

HIDE-AND-SEEK FOR ADULTS
Wondering what the latest fad to cross over the Atlantic? It'sLetterboxing!

We just went on a company scavenger hunt and it was a lot of fun, but I kept on thinking how much more fun it would be with my friends. (Please don't take offense collegues...oye) Basically Letterboxers are folks who go on an outdoor adventure that combines puzzle solving, exercise and mystery with a dash of competitiveness.

Supposedly 9000 letterboxes have been planted in state parks and nature areas around the U.S. Each waterproof box has a stamp and logbook. Folks that can find the letterbox mark the book with their stamp and then use the stamp from in the box to stamp their book -proving that they discovered it. Make sense?

Go to the Official Letterboxing Site and get your friends together and find a letterbox near you.
