Mistletoe, the same plant you kiss under at holiday time, may be an effective aid against certain types of cancer.
Every time I've been to Los Angeles, I've hated it. My brother works there, so I usually go each year for a holiday.
Since I travel to the four corners of this planet for work, I don't need sun holidays or that kind of thing.
If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.
