It’s that time of year when folks like me are expected to offer up an annual reflection . . . a thoughtful retrospective that somehow – through the magic of hindsight? – might lend new insight into the year gone by.

Getting All Their Frogs in the Wheelbarrow… Like of lot of folks I know, I was glad to finally have the 2012 election in the rear view mirror.

Especially, one supposes, if their candidates won.

Friends of Hunting Island gear up for 5th Annual Pelican Plunge It was January 1st, 2010. I called my neighbor, Amy Matthews, and said, “I don’t want to hear the word ‘no.’ Come on, we’re doing the Pelican Plunge.” Unfamiliar with the event, she said, “Huh?”

LCSOPA’s Deanna Kraszewski bids a fond farewell to Beaufort. She did it her way, and we all took her lead. This 30-year-old pirouetted into Beaufort with not only the desire to teach dance, but the resolve to instill a love of the performing arts in the youth that call the Lowcountry home. And, as Deanna Kraszewski gives her last curtsy Saturday, she will certainly elicit a standing ovation from parents, grandparents, peers and friends, all of whom have benefited from her tenacity, strength and grace.

It’s always a pleasure to receive a note from a reader. (Well, almost always.) The email I received last week was no exception; the reader was quite engaging, even as she took me to task for what she called a “blatant untruth” in my last column. The statement in question: “No matter who we are, where we come from, or what we believe, we all hold Christmas sacred.”
