Generally, I’ve been lucky in love. I say generally because there have been some, well, lonely periods in my life. Brief but painful. One such was my freshman year in college. The fall and winter of 1966 was a desolate year. A drought of a year girls-wise. So,...

Good morning from Whiskey Creek, where…oh, forget it, you know the drill. I’ll just get right to the point. Everybody’s got a favorite holiday and, it’s been proved in more than a dozen and a half psychology doctoral dissertations, a least favorite. I’m living proof...

Dear friends, Here we are at the last Welcome of 2007. It was a year that came with some sadness and I pray will leave with some hope. We lost a number of our community members, most lately Jack Freeman who was a darned nice guy and will be missed when the wagons...

This is my last Welcome Column of 2016. Traditionally, I should say something important, pithy and clever about the milestone. But what pops into my head to say (my 58-year-old-head) is different than what might pop into your head, especially if you’re younger or...

Another year is about to roll around—and it’s an opportunity to put together a playlist for the occasion. (I am obsessed with making playlists.) The new year brings up all kinds of thoughts: parties, winter time, drinking, dancing, staying up past midnight, reliving...

Good morning from Whiskey Creek, where one dog is a dog but three are a pack, where Jamestown springs make you feel like you’ll live forever, where there are as many shades of green on a May afternoon as there are grains of sand on Poipu Beach and where all is well...
