Is it just me?
Traffic laws and numerous highway signs state clearly that slower traffic should drive in the RIGHT lane. Can these people not see miles of traffic crunched up behind them? Can they not see the &#8220;friendly&#8221; hand signals from the drivers around them? Can they not feel the driver&#8217;s hot breath and hear [...]

A French poet once said, &#8220;Les yeux sont le miroir de l&#8217;âme&#8220; or &#8220;the eyes are windows to the soul.&#8221; Here&#8217;s another thought. I believe the eyes of a wife are windows to the soul of her husband.
With few exceptions, you can gauge the measure of a man in the eyes of his wife. 
Knowing [...]

As many of you know, my dear friend Ian Morgan Cron (Twitter: @iancron), author of the extraordinary book Chasing Francis, is relocating from Greenwich, Connecticut to Franklin, Tennessee in a few days. It seems appropriate to educate this &#8220;damn Yankee&#8221; to the finer sensibilities of southern culture. Here are a few thoughts that should prepare [...]

Words give us the ability to think. So it stands to reason, the more words we add to our vocabulary, the better we are able to think. My friend, Dr. Louis Markos calls poetry the &#8220;highest art form&#8221; for this very reason. The myriad layers of emotion and meaning expressed by poetry come from words. [...]

A question is a beautiful thing to waste.
Isn’t it wonderful to sit down with a friend who looks you in the eyes and warmly begins asking sincere questions about your life?
Have you ever noticed that great authors are insatiable question askers?
How do you rate at asking questions?
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Okay. You [...]

This morning I have remnants of delicious exhaustion.
I asked a few friends to gather Memorial Day and celebrate an all-day Italian feast. Our location was &#8220;off the grid&#8221; at the rustic but elegant lodge, arbor and organic gardens on the stunning 2,000 acres of Kalein@Round Cove near Winchester, Tennessee. Nordeck and Mary Claire Thompson created [...]
