Wine
Immediately after Halloween our thoughts turn to the impending holidays, and I begin to receive the question "What wine goes best with the traditional Thanksgiving dinner?" Every year I hear this question, and it's always a...

So much to say. So little time. So little space. I wonder if it’s this way with any hobby? Those are certainly my constraints in writing this column and responding to your questions. There’s so much more I could have said,...

Handwriting is such an individual and personal expression. One that begins when we first enter Kindergarten. The way we cross our t's or loop our g's, is part of our basic personality. We are taught how to make our letters flow, and the...

House & Home
I like to think of my mom when it comes to making soup. I don’t think she ever followed a recipe when she made soup, she just made it up as she went along. Her soups were never the same, and never duplicated. She basically just...

A Day in the Life
Okay, okay, I'll be the first to admit it. I am vain. I know, you wouldn't think that of a person who fits the description of "fat, balding, and forty (plus nearly a decade)" is vain, but it's true. I am so self-conscious of how I look...
