Holidays

This Valentine’s Day, there’s something for everyone, but it’s best to get an early start.

To keep the world from thinking that their solution to a shipping truck shortage is a grand burglary network, FedEx and UPS have been trying to get the word out that rental moving trucks will be used to make up for shipping shortages.

The truth is that the "I Have a Dream" speech is a living thing, one that is as pertinent in 2016 as it was in 1963.

Feeling sorrow about the long lost practice of sending and receiving Christmas cards that, no matter what the distance, seemed to bring people closer together.

Members of a program for the mentally ill homeless gathered with Teaching Artist Leo Schaff to create and perform a Christmas waltz to lift your spirits this holiday season.

Depending on the number of house guests you are expecting this holiday season, making sure that everyone has breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a few days can be really overwhelming.

When the former U.S. Poet Laureate read the phrase "frying pan of yourself/into the fire..." a young child in the audience gave a magnificent whoop. It was the perfect sound effect to punctuate the hot metaphor.

Milk Oolong is a type of Chinese oolong with an aroma and flavor combination that suggests cream, and even, to me, a hint of milk chocolate. After a couple of sips, my palate had adapted to it; after a cup, I was a convert.

Taking time this Thanksgiving season to reflect with gratitude on both the divine and human good in our lives and to pray for the world, neighbors, friends, and family is more than just a nice thing to do. It can promote our own peace and a healthier world.

If you do have an opportunity to meet a veteran today, don’t forget to extend your hand and say, “Thank you.” It’s the least any of us can do.
