If you're crafty, you're already hard at work on the special holiday project of the season. Maybe you make scarves for all your friends, bake elaborate cookies, or crochet cozy blankets. If you're like the rest of us, though, you're willing to part with a little green to save time

Back in high school and college, a shop called Irish & Celtic Imports in Pittsford Plaza subsidized my shenanigans. I worked there maybe 30 hours a week, and much of that time was spent selling Celtic jewelry. You learn quickly that if a piece is covered in intricate knotwork, it's

Disclaimer: I'm not a sports fan, and can't remember the last time (if ever) I was at a ball game, unless you count my little brother's games in the 90's. Those were sweaty, suffering-in-the-bleachers affairs when I was much too young to toss back a few and get into it.
