As I rounded the corner at the Hardees drive-up on Saturday, I noticed the busy young lady handling the window. She looked very familiar. The line was long but moving well. The young lady had a determined and serious look on her face. When I got to the window to pay, I finally recognized her… Read more »
There are lots of “inconveniences” in life. Forgetting your lunch money. Oversleeping for an appointment. And the coup de grâce – the flat tire! Perhaps made worse by rain. You’ve been there. Finding the jack. Figuring out how it works. Rusty lug nuts that take herculean efforts to get loose. Then praying that the spare… Read more »
Where can you be and touch two states at the same time? Or three? Where can you stand and see five states at the same time? Or six? Well, if you have seen a certain Geico commercial, you’ve seen the Gecko stride the line on State Street in Bristol (Birthplace of Country Music) with one… Read more »

Until the time of Monet, Manet, Lautrec, Renoir, Morisot, and Cezanne Degas, painters were… Read more »
Fond memories and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly. For those in our region, summer often involves family. Family trips and vacations. Family time. And family who had ventured away for jobs, coming back to the place they longed to be (the real world had other plans). Many of you, like me, recall… Read more »

Our region has become a destination for folks from around the country. Good climate. Close, but not too close, to big cities. Water (don’t laugh – a real asset). Lots of things to do, such as outdoor activities, arts and festivals. And pretty nice locals. So, it was not surprising when I got a phone… Read more »
They were beaming. Smiling ear to ear. As I went for my early morning walk at the beach, I approached a group of young Mennonite teenagers (boys and girls) in their standard attire. They were heading to the beach, I suspect some for the first time, and they were absolutely happy – grinning like the… Read more »
