Supreme Court forced to rule on Marriage Equality
Today the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) agreed to take on same-sex marriage issue and hopefully settle this once and for all. CNN reports that division in lower courts that manifested after Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Michigan – all in the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the national trend and upheld gay marriage bans is what likely forced the hand of SCOTUS.
You can read the full report on CNN here. CNN also has a rather interesting article speculating on the impact this decision could have on the Republican Primary in a post here.

Take a few minutes from your busy schedule to stretch your neck to avoid straining those muscles. Simply tilt your head to the right for a minute and then the left. Feel free to repeat a few times until you feel more relaxed.

Wine and cheese pairings guide
I stumbled upon this pairings guide and while I would always encourage individuals to pair whatever they like, I recognize that guides like this can be helpful for those who may not know where to start.
For those who live locally, I would strongly suggest visiting Formaggio and let them know what wine you are purchasing. They make excellent suggestions.

Where in the world would you travel
If money and time was not an issue, what one destination would you put on your “Must See” list for 2015? I often write about traveling but only get away from New England one or two times a year for pleasure.
There are so many places I would like to see that it would be tough to limit my answer to just one location. However, I’ve always wanted to visit Cape Town South Africa and I do regret not having visited New Zealand when Sergio and I went to Australia back in 2009 so those two destinations would rank high on my “Must See”. Where would you like to visit if you could go anywhere in the world and why?
