There are also unwritten rules about how to organize a golf bag, unwritten at least until now. So here goes.

Sea Bass Out, Tautogs In

Boomer Do’s and Don’ts
There is now an app for just about everything on the planet. But oddly, there is not an App for Boomers - a complete listing of all the perils with which we might contend. I suppose the Good Lord figured that at this stage of our lives we’d have better sense than to do certain things – like play touch football with children and grandchildren.

It worked like a charm until I made the mistake of putting a few sunflower hearts inside the feeder. When the squirrels discovered that there were … [Read more...]
Carolina Cioppino
By James Friend Dickerson Since I cook to match the dietary needs of my guests, this is not your traditional cioppino (no tomatoes or vegetables). So let’s get started on a delicious, hearty stew! If we’re not at the beach, I head to Wegman's and pick through the available seafood. Since a step-son earns his way as a commercial fisherman, I steer away from farm raised seafood and go for … [Read more...]

Hawking 15c hamburgers and 20c cheeseburgers, Hardee’s gave McDonald’s a run for their money in the southeast and began offering homemade biscuits to their breakfast menu. In the early days, local housewives baked at home and delivered … [Read more...]

That is the gist of the press surrounding a recent study that estimates that nearly three billion birds have disappeared form North America since the 1970s.
