If you’re like me, you may be tired of the flood of Facebook shares and status updates. Similarly, the same set of blogs and internet feeds all start to blend together. There is so much info and so many updates, it quickly becomes overwhelming!

DIVE IN! That is all I could think, standing on a catwalk at the Hershey factory behind coke bottle thick security glass, overlooking a ridiculously enormous vat of melted chocolate. The smell? Transcendent. The sight? Heavenly. Are you drooling yet?

Our new catalog interface has been in place for a few weeks. Now that things are smoothing out, we thought it time for a quick FAQ answering some of the most common questions we've received since the launch.

It occurred to me recently it's almost time to think about scouring the Web for World Series tickets.
Wait a minute. Reality check. Sad to say, Chicago's two professional baseball teams -- the Cubs and the White Sox -- did not make this fall's Major League Baseball (MLB) playoffs, scheduled to start soon. So I won't be on the hunt for playoffs or World Series tickets after all. (I won't rub it in by telling you just where our guys are in the standings.)
Open until 9:00pm today.
