Tease photo

Memorial services will be held Saturday in Washington, D.C., for my friend and colleague, Jack Nelson, who died of pancreatic cancer Oct. 21 at age 80.

As a historian and archivist, I'm sometimes asked how Charleston acquired the sobriquet of "The Holy City." I've never really found an answer, but I believe it might have something to do with the reverence our city has roused in the hearts and minds of its citizens. Read MoreRead More

Futon returns from the '70s

Ah, yes, it was so hot in the '70s. If you were a starving student or just managing to scrape it together in your first apartment, you had a futon. With or, more likely, without a frame, the futon operated as your bed, couch, desk and dining table. Read MoreRead More

'Avenue Q' irreverent look at society
'The most fabulous thing about 'Avenue Q' is that it dares to say out loud what other people often are thinking, but does it in such a hilarious way that no one is offended," says Kerri Brackin, speaking from a hotel room in Connecticut, where the show's touring company was performing that evening.     Read MoreRead More

Pineapple guava provides beauty and tasty treat
I can't breathe. Usually, I sleep like the dead, but not since I got a cold. It feels like 20 foam peanuts have been shoved up each nostril. My face throbs. I can breathe only through my mouth until my throat is dry. At night, I sound like a monster. And when I'm finally sleeping, apnea strikes. It's like I'm drowning every five minutes.     Read MoreRead More

Online romance column ending run
Not long after starting this column, I received an e-mail from a very nice gentleman who gave me a great recommendation. I'd written an article where I listed "Romantic Times" as a wonderful reference to use, and he wrote very enthusiastically about a Web site called All About Romance (www.likesbooks.com) and specifically its online column, "At the Back Fence."     Read MoreRead More

There's no treat in being tricked
One Halloween we're dressing up as Mickey Mouse to go trick-or-treating, and the next we're staying at home so we can hand out Fun Size Snickers bars to all the kids who come to our front door. Granted, in my particular case, it actually was last year I dressed up as Mickey Mouse (and, Mom, I'm sorry about your pantyhose, I promise to get you a new pair), but still, I'm not going to lie: Those last 365 days sure went fast.     Read MoreRead More

Sticky and sweet
It's hard for anyone to forget his first burned marshmallow. The exterior turns brown, the insides melt and when popped in the mouth, there is an exquisite taste of nutty, buttery, sweetness that is the essence of caramelizing. It's also when we learn the colors sugar can take and the results.     Read MoreRead More

Obama recognizes poetry's power
There is much about poetry that pertains to writing and giving speeches - cadence, meaning, finding just the right word or group of words to express something universally felt. Delivery is critical - when to pause, when to look up, when to smile. Poets, like orators, have to consider such things in front of an audience.     Read MoreRead More
