Karen Getting Married

August 29, 2010

Good day and Sita Ram! That’s a Hindu greeting I learned this weekend in Trinidad. In fact, I learned a lot of things this weekend, most of them having to do with the incredible hospitality of the people of Trinidad. I’ve always thought Southerners had a lock on first place in that area. But after the past weekend, [...]

The Spa at Peter Island

October 22, 2009

Thanks so much, but I don’t do spas. Maybe you can use it. So said my friend Tracey when I gave her a spa gift certificate for her birthday last year. Apparently, Tracey had a bad facial once and it put her off spas forever. I think it was the extractions. Well, a few months [...]

Camp ConchQuest

April 25, 2009

Audrey has been at Cedar School since she was three years old and during those eight years she’s had some great teachers, some good ones and, luckily, only a dud or two. I think the low point was definitely the kindergarten teacher with the cropped tops and the pierced bellybutton. As far as I could tell, she [...]
