BAYVIEW — A woman was arrested for allegedly ransacking her boyfriend’s home and causing damage with two axes early Saturday morning following a Christmas party. Note to self: hide axes before holiday parties. Also, doesn't this sound like a country western song?

This just in: a man can be a maven. I didn't know this until I was followed by a guy on Twitter who describes himself as a real estate maven. I always thought that term described a powerful, knowlegable woman, but nope! It just means a person who knows a lot about something.
