Get Out the Vote

Written by jride

By Summer Bowen Few people can argue that the world took a turn for the worse eight years ago when nearly half of Americans said, “Aw, shucks! He just seems like the kinda guy I’d like to have a beer with!” Well, there are people we want to meet for happy hour and there are people we want to be president, and never the twain shall meet (with the possible exception of Al Gore). Sure, we can cry into our slowly warming beers about the havoc Dubya has wreaked on our planet. Or we can... Read more...

The Company We Keep

10/23/2008
Very few of us have a personal attachment to the company with which we bank. Maybe you signed up with U.S. Bank because it was giving out free t-shirts on your first day of college, or Bank of America because it had the closest ATM to your apartment, or switched to Washington Mutual to punish Citibank for refusing to refund your late fees. But if the subprime mortgage meltdown and increasingly dire economy have got you nervously eyeballing your finances, wondering if a better place to... Read more...

Other than twittering birds and the insistent bleat of a goat in the distance, it's ethereally still among the ruins of Pinyeres. We've been meandering along the "Route to Peace," imagining the centuries of families who lived, loved, quarreled and ultimately died here. Now there's nothing but crumbled walls and this pervasive silence, until a pitiful meow interrupts our thoughts. A marmalade kitten with an injured foot and pronounced ribs calls out to us as he hobbles over the... Read more...

How to Raise an Un-Picky Eater

Written by JessicaHarlan
10/22/2008
Many of my friends, knowing I'm a food professional, think that I must hold the secret to raising a "good eater," as kids who aren't picky eaters are called. They're constantly asking me how to sneak more vegetables into their kid's diet, how to convince their kids to sit at the table for longer than five minutes, or what to give them as snacks that won't rot their teeth. I don't feel like I'm much of an expert in this respect: there are days when my daughter refuses to... Read more...

Trees Need Friends Too

Written by BelindaMom

Georgia has wanted a tree since we moved into this house four years ago. We’ve got juniper and arborvitae and one tall, odd palm tree, and shade from a magnolia in the neighbor’s yard, but no nice tree of our own. Georgia wants a fruit tree, or at least a tree to climb, but first we were renting, and then there wasn’t really a good place for a tree. Plus, trees are expensive! But we just got a postcard from the Friends of Trees alerting us that our parking strip is designated as having... Read more...
