I love bringing in the New Year. I love the optimism, the idea of starting out fresh, and the anticipation of good things to come. I do not love, however, the question that fellow humans can’t resist asking: What are [...]
No polling data is offered. No experts are quoted. No international study referenced. The people at Dentyne just come flat out and say it in their newest TV commercial: The average person spends 20,000 minutes in their lifetime kissing. Again, [...]
Three months ago, just about the time the local swimming pools closed their doors, my son started a Christmas list. It now consists of four pieces of copy paper taped together into one long scroll of detailed items. He has [...]
After interviewing an established Carmel artist recently, I left her home feeling completely entertained and grateful to have had the opportunity of meeting her. Her name is Michelle Marocco. Nothing about Michelle or her home décor and furnishings are ordinary. [...]
Most of us know a neighbor, friend, son, daughter, spouse, brother or sister who is in the military and frequently misses holidays throughout the year. For some, it is a very sad and lonely time, and for others it is [...]
The house is quiet now, which is a very rare occurrence. The silence provides me with a chance to think and reflect uninterrupted without someone asking for more milk or asking where their Han Solo action figure is or rubbing [...]
The party’s over. Our 30 guests have gone home, but I’m a little concerned. I can’t find the cat’s scratching post, the cordless phone that was on the living room table or my brand new bicycle helmet. Oh, and where’s [...]

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m paying tribute to boobage. Not in a creepy, I-can’t-believe-you-said-that sort of way, but in a respectful, hopefully somewhat insightful manner. After all, women’s breasts are the stuff that songs, movies and motherhood [...]
Everyone loves elections. (Or maybe it’s just me. I am a bit of a geek with that stuff!) Well, like it or not, a big one is on the way. This coming election may not be as fun to talk [...]

What’s a nice guy from landlocked Carmel, Indiana, doing in a yacht race like this? For Chris Palabrica the answer is simple – it’s the chance to fulfill a lifelong sportsman’s dream, and to share it with a sister who [...]
