I am up way past when I normally am and I have to work tomorrow (I am writing this on thursday). By the time you actually read this post I will be in The Red River Gorge making my way to a campsite. I have not packed yet, I cannot find the parking permit I […]
Gentlemen, we are on the precipice of the greatest time of the year in sport. Baseball is nearing the playoffs, the Little League World Series is in full swing, the English Premier League is in week number two, and college football starts a week from yesterday. Enjoy the coming months. As a disclaimer I feel […]
Well it’s that time again. It’s Friday afternoon and, for many of you, that means the workweek is coming to an end. Here’s your weekly “what to do this weekend” post. Remember, though, as Josh pointed out on Monday, this will be the last Friday at Five for a while as we’re incorporating a new […]
I have to admit, I have Olympic fever. Even though I already know most of the results (appreciate that, internet), I still find myself glued to my television most nights, pleading with a 4’7″ gymnast to end all those flips with better landings. So in the spirit of the games, I’ve decided to plan an […]
It’s that time again. We at TTAF have had a banner week. Thanks again for reading and sharing our site. Without further ado, let’s get to the weekend.

What to do: So it’s not unbearably hot anymore, at least where I live. Not only that, it’s raining. Old people everywhere are looking up to the clouds with their arms outstretched like Andy Dufresne, rejoicing as their beloved lawns and gardens soak in a heavenly mist. But for me, rain means that I […]
What to do: According to my iphone, which has yet to let me down, it’s going to be 104 degrees outside my house tomorrow. This is the kind of heat that meteorologists describe as “dangerous”. So while we usually encourage outdoor activities on the weekend, this weekend we’re taking the opposite stance: only go outside […]
What to Do: We here at TTAF often use this space to advocate for outdoor activities, but considering this, we’re going to give you a pass. Chances are, if you attempt to hike, jog, camp, play golf, or even walk to your mailbox this weekend, you will burst into flame. In lieu of the great […]
Administrators’ Note: To cap off Jurassic Park Week, we thought we would record and then transcribe a conversation revolving around our memories surrounding the movie. It was a grand plan, and we started things off in style at our weekly meeting at TTAF Headquarters by lighting a fire and sipping old-fashioneds. We quickly found that […]
