Time to Plant Your First Fall Garden

Time to Plant Your First Fall Garden

Okay, let’s be honest here for a second. We all know that no matter what ‘safeguards’ for the consumer Congress comes up with, those crooks on Wall Street will figure a way around it and keep ripping us all off.  This last financial meltdown was certainly my ‘Come to Jesus’ moment and made me realize that this whole economic boat we’re all floating on could capsize in a second. (Or even a nano second thanks to computers!) Which brings me back to the importance of vegetable gardens.

On parades and parties and dual citizenship

On parades and parties and dual citizenship

Water Festival Parade, last Saturday morning: My family and I are lounging in beach chairs under an oak tree along Bellamy Curve. Despite the early hour and mellow breeze, we are sweltering.  Though I’m only blocks from my house, I don’t recognize anybody in this crowd, but everyone’s friendly. A young man is passing out Joe Wilson stickers. “No thanks,” I say. “I’m not doing politics today.” He politely moves on, but several folks turn to look at me. They’re all wearing Joe Wilson stickers.

Politics & Patriotism

Politics & Patriotism

Posted by | Jul 21, 2010 | | 0

Politicians love to cloak themselves in Patriotism, with one of their favorite ways of doing so post 9/11 being to show how much they “Support the Troops.” This year’s race for S. Carolina’s 2nd Congressional District is no different, with both candidates (and their supporters) trying to one-up each other with just how much a patriot they truly are. No one is doubting the Patriotism of either candidate. Both men are veterans. Rob Miller is a combat veteran from Iraq, and Joe Wilson has four children who are currently serving in the military.  Both candidates sacrifices are significant and worthy of respect.

A conversation with children’s author and illustrator, Melissa Conroy, and her novelist father Pat. When she was a child herself, Melissa noticed everything and wanted to know how everything worked.
