“Another hotly debated question among physicists is what happens if you enter a wormhole [a shortcut that connects two distant points in space and time] and go backward in time. If you then kill your grandfather before you are born, then you have a paradox. How can you exist at all if you just killed your ancestor? Einstein’s theory actually allows for time travel (if negative energy exists) but says nothing about how to resolve these paradoxes. String theory, because it is a finite theory in which everything can be calculated, should be able to resolve all these mind-twisting paradoxes.”  –  Michio Kaku, The Future of Humanity (Doubleday, 2018)

Debbi Covington Chronicles Sophisticated Cuisine from the South Carolina Lowcountry. By Mark Shaffer  In the interest of full disclosure Debbi Covington is not only a longtime colleague, but a close friend. I even like her husband, Vince. I have her brother in-law Fleetwood’s art on my wall. You might say that I’m connected to the Covingtons as was my wife, Susan. She appreciated forthright people who loved to sip a fine bourbon. And when the worst happened last May, the Covingtons – like so many others – were right there. But I digress.

Friends of Caroline Hospice will host their annual fashion show event, “Fashion for Compassion,” on Friday, April 20th, starting at 5pm at Tabby Place in historic downtown Beaufort.

  “When I was growing up, Grandmama used to say, ‘The Lord works in mysterious ways’ or ‘He might not be there when you want Him, but He’s always right on time.’ Evie used to say, ‘God will do to you what He feels like needs to be done to you.’ Then Grandmama would tell Evie to hush and remind her that getting left by a man was not the worst thing that ever happened to somebody. And Evie would say, ‘It’s the worst thing that ever happened to me.’ She said it so much that she came down with lupus. ‘God wanted me to see what misery really was,’ Evie said.” – Tayari Jones, An American Marriage (2018, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill)
