Michael C. Hall, Dexter, and the Butterfly Crocs I Never Meant to Buy
I never thought I’d own Crocs. My wardrobe leans black, goth-inspired, and carefully curated—definitely not playful clogs covered in butterflies. And yet, one morning, there they were on my feet, bright against the dark tiles of my kitchen.

How to Organize Your Digital Life and Boost Focus
It started with a single folder. One evening, after yet another day where my mind felt like a cluttered inbox half-written emails, scattered notes, and 37 tabs open like a digital crime scene I decided I’d had enough. The glow of my laptop was the only light in the room. I dragged one file, then another, into a single folder titled Reset. That was all it took for the momentum to shift.

The Alien Bee
This first paragraph is a statement from my mother; we bought the original trailer on the PA property in 1990. I am thinking it must have been maybe 1993 or 1994 when this happened. Godhard, Kyle my younger brother, and I were at the trailer and there was a big bee outside. So, we went inside. It was an unusual looking bee. If recall correctly, it had larger or maybe even bulging eyes. It just was not a normal looking bee. What was also unusual is it literally followed me from window to window. The bee was outside but as I moved inside from the door, that had a big window, to the kitchen window on the side of the trailer, to the living room window around the back of the trailer, the bee appeared at each window. If I went back to another window, the bee would follow. It was the strangest thing. The bee was tracking me from outside as I moved around the various windows inside no matter the direction I went. I do not recall how it ended. I think the bee just flew away but it was a truly unusual experience and I have never seen a bee like that since then.

By Brian Godhard of Cryptid Paranormal LLC Conneaut Lake Park and Hotel Conneaut hold a special place in my heart. For years, my parents docked their boat at the marina, and my brother and I spent countless summer days exploring the park’s attractions. My father, too, visited the park in his youth with his parents and Siblings. In 2011, my cousin’s wedding at the historic hotel further deepened our family’s connection to this timeless lakeside destination.

Chadwick Boseman: A Hero On and Off the Screen
To millions, he will always be remembered as King T’Challa, the Black Panther — a Marvel superhero who inspired generations with his dignity, courage, and wisdom. But beyond the silver screen, Chadwick’s true story was even more heroic. It wasn’t about superpowers or box office numbers. It was about resilience, humility, and the quiet strength of a man who faced death with grace while giving life to roles that touched the world.
