The Cochon 555 ATL event was yesterday, and what a great success it was! So many people came out to experience the taste of Heritage Breed Pigs. I wrote the field guide for the national tour, and I’ve fallen in love with the cause of supporting organically raised meat, dairy and produce. In the guide, we [ READ MORE ]
I went for a run while I was home for the holidays, and did something I’ve never done before. I ran without music. No organ grinds from classic Stones, and no wales from Roger Daltrey…nothing but the sound of my breath pushing out of my lungs, and my feet slapping through the grass as [ READ MORE ]
I added a new section to my blog, which I plan to post short works of fiction and non. The first piece is something I wrote a few years ago based on the misdirected advice offered by some beauty magazines…it is fiction. A Blog from a Forever Young Magazine Subscriber [ READ MORE ]

The perfect setting for some sort of deranged mishap (and there were a few.) Many evenings [ READ MORE ]
OK, spring has officially sprung. In addition to it being a sunny, mid-70’s day in Atlanta, I just witnessed a blooming relationship in action…and it was so cute! At lunch, I was driving with my windows open ignoring the pollen, and soaking up the sunshine. While stopped at a red light, I saw a young man, [ READ MORE ]
I love Neko Case! Her voice is singular to any living artist. I can’t wait until she plays Atlanta. In the article, she mentions, social vampires. I thought her comments were particularly interesting. Social vampires are definitely out there, and they don’t just dwell on the mega-talented. Good for you Neko! I hope Vermont gives [ READ MORE ]
When my friend, Todd said he was creating a tour for his favorite novel, A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES, it stuck in my mind, not only because it’s my favorite novel as well, but because I thought it was a very cool idea, and a wonderful way to memorialize a brilliant piece of work. Well, I had [ READ MORE ]
