The Get-Away
The Get-Away
Sometimes we just need to get away–change the routine, walk new trails, see new views, hear new discourse, and just listen. That is exactly what the Columbus Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors did last week as they traveled to Stoney Creek Ranch out 109 and Zimmerscheidt roads for a day-long board retreat and training. 02/07/2024 23:00
“A Piece of Cake”
“A Piece of Cake”
My husband, Peter, and I landed in Mexico again, and we did what we have done in the past. We bought an enormous cake. It's nice to have a cake in the house. I have discovered it is not necessarily a good idea to eat cake every day, as it eventually makes my clothes too small. But I do like cake, and I especially like Mexican cake, and more than anything, I like giving cake away. 02/07/2024 23:00
Letter from a Birmingham Jail
Letter from a Birmingham Jail
In April of 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested and jailed in Birmingham, Alabama. Alone for several days in the dull “monotony of a narrow jail cell,” as he described it, King penned a letter that has been described as one of the most important historical documents ever written. Considered a classic treatise on civil disobedience, it is perhaps one of the most beautifully crafted and eloquent letters ever composed. Every American should read it. 02/07/2024 23:00
