Most of the Tri-State area where I live got hit by a large snowstorm this past weekend. I think Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where I live, got about 10 inches of snow. It wasn’t as bad as they called for, but it was still too much snow, in my opinion.
With the snow accumulating this past weekend, I built a list in my head of all the things to do if we were stuck in the house for several days. The list consisted of TV shows, movies, books, indoor activities and more. With plenty of winter ahead of us, I thought I would share some of my favorite movies, TV shows or books to help entertain readers next time they might be stuck indoors.

Nov 9, 2026Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past
I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.

Nov 5, 2026Review: Casa Gangotena
ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Facing one side of San Francisco Plaza in Quito’s Old Town, you’d be forgiven if you, at first, mistook the hotel for a palatial residence or estate, where the fourth or perhaps fifth generation of a family resides. Casa Gangotena, a Relais & Châteaux property, was, in fact, a home for many, built in the 17th century and later home to several presidents. The entrance reminds you you’re on very special grounds, from crown molding ceilings to opulent chandeliers to velvet couches, and staff guided me to check-in, beginning my very own regal stay.
