Kick Back at Topsail
Beaches, beaches, everywhere. There is Virginia Beach with wall-to-wall hotels and Myrtle Beach with wall-to-wall traffic, and more golf courses than seagulls. There is Corolla, Duck, Nags Head, Hatteras and many others. But one of my family’s favorite get away spots is Topsail Beach, on the southern coast of North Carolina. My old friend Bill Herndon of Charlottesville was the first to mention … [Read more...]
It’s Howdy Doody Time
Hey kids! What time is it? Breathes there a Boomer who doesn’t know the answer to that question? If it was Buffalo Bob Smith asking and it was a weekday afternoon on NBC in the 1950’s, it was most definitely “Howdy Doody time.” Boomers remember the Howdy Doody Show as much for the quality of life during those years as for the quality of this popular children’s program. It was a time of peace … [Read more...]
Cool, Clear Water
I went on a mini vacation last week. Four days of food and fun, along with multiple adult beverages. I was with my 4 amigos on our semi-annual retreat from reality. When I returned, the bathroom scales added 4 1/2 pounds to my person. It was time to get back to a healthy lifestyle and lose those dreaded pounds, but no crash diet for me. I have found ways to eat like a champ and still lose weight. … [Read more...]
Four Fish Are Better Than None
Ed T. of Front Royal Canoe had this report for the South Fork of the Shenandoah: First trip of the year for me, finally got back on the river. Really nice day weather-wise. Started out a little cool, but turned into a beautiful spring day. The river had come up about ¾-foot and was quite stained. The water temperature had dropped some as well. Chalk all that up to the rains upriver last Tuesday … [Read more...]

The Inn at Cliff View
Where do you go if you want to have a family reunion? Or what if you’re the Human Resources person assigned to book a special business/social affair. Where to? A hotel or resort? Pretty pricey and not much interaction among guests. What if you want a more intimate setting for your retreat, with more fellowship, and in an affordable venue? Maybe you want a place to fly fish for wild trout or tee up … [Read more...]
The Curse of Uneven Lies
It’s hard enough to hit a golf ball into that elusive piece of real estate known as a fairway when it’s resting on a dead level, manicured tee box. But when the ball comes to a stop on a slope steep enough to make a mountain goat stumble, the average golfer is in trouble. That is, unless he or she knows how to adjust the swing, the equipment and body weight to compensate for the uneven … [Read more...]
Duncan Yo-Yos
If you look closely at the middle finger on the right hand of an average Boomer, you may see the feint shape of a ring imprint embedded in the skin. That likely came from the ever-tightening string of a Duncan Yo-Yo, one of the most popular toys of Boomerhood. But yo-yos were really more than just toys, they were instruments of wonder, so much so that a half-hour of school time was often … [Read more...]
Turkey Burgers! Yumm!
