Monday, December 3, marked the 36th consecutive year that Saint Nick has made his way to the First Security Bank in Malta and he said he was happy as ever to be here.

I don’t even like talking about weight loss anymore because I always seem to jinx myself the moment I write about it. This time may be different because I am participating in a diet that I don’t really hate. Like many things in life, I have mixed reviews about this diet— or um lifestyle.

Thanksgiving was not normal for me, or should I say “us” since my wife does this too. With...
Dere Editor, Most of the people I talk to about this idea are against it for several different reasons, but I think most miss the point.
