    “I’m not a baby, Daddy, I’m a big girl,” Mady said to me the other day.

  • Common misconceptions about pet food

    This week continues a series of columns publishing an e-mail conversation I had with a friend about pet food. 

  • It's that time of year: Chill some Rosé

    It’s that time of year, time to grab a bottle or two of Rosé and chill it down in preparation for warm weather quaffing.

  • A rollicking band of pirates they!

    They fancy themselves a dangerous lot, but counted among their weapons are a fairy wand, a light sabre, and a rubber chicken. They’re all for taking hostages, but somehow the hostages all turn out to be orphans and, as orphans themselves, they just can’t take advantage. They’re the pirates ofPenzance, and they’re no more successful at pirating in 2012 than they were back in 1879. That’s when this Gilbert and Sullivan jewel first held audiences captive with its rapier wit, and it’s been swashing its buckles ever since.

  • A lot going on this summer

    No chance of boredom this summer!

  • Is corn just a filler in pet foods?

    This week continues the dialog I had with a friend over choosing a food for her cat.

  • Laura's Dream

    One had a dream, part of which was decades old; another had launched a feverish quest in the last six weeks. On a Wednesday evening the much-anticipated call was received, “I have good news. Can you be at the Richmond airport on Saturday afternoon?”

  • 'God of Carnage' – The Truth That Lies Beneath

    Fortunately for “God of Carnage” and the audiences it holds in thrall, Yasmina Reza controls the story. That would be the same genius of dialogue and the ebbs and flows of power struggles who created “Art.” And like “Art”, “God of Carnage” has chalked up three Tonys, including “Best Play” for 2009.

  • 21st century learning

    21st century learning is an important gateway of preparedness for our K-12 students to succeed in today’s workplace.

  • Addressing food concerns with pets

    This week is the second installment of an extended e-mail conversation with a friend regarding the best food to feed her cat.

  • 'Not what I want, what you want'

    It’s very apparent that Jesus was going through tremendous agony and stress in regards to His assignment.

  • Shakespeare Theatre Company wins regional Tony award

    Every year, members of the ATCA nationwide nominate their choice for the Regional Theatre Tony award, which honors “non-profit, professional regional theatre that has displayed a continuous level of artistic achievement.” This year, my own nominee is the winner of this special Tony – the Shakespeare Theatre Company in D.C.

  • The key to sanity

    The head is spinning with columns, fundraising events, research, financial worries, family matters, and a tiller that will not run! If there is anything that is screaming to be preserved, it is my own sanity.

  • Pesticide containers can be returned for recycling

    Triple rinsed plastic pesticide containers can be returned for recycling thanks to a program run by local Extension with assistance from Culpeper County, CFC Farm and Home and County Farm Service.

  • Emerging personality

    My baby is 18 mos. and becoming her own person

  • Dispelling conspiracy theories about veterinarians

    I recently had an extended e-mail conversation with a friend of mine. I thoroughly enjoyed the exchange and think readers will, too. I have edited only to reduce length and remove specific product names. The exchange was long enough that it will take several columns to complete. Here’s the first installment:

  • Being jailed for charity

    My position at the Chamber has finally become a problem. I will be locked up as a result of my Chamber activities.

  • The Icarus Dream Realized!

    Icarus never dreamed that air travel would become what it is today, for that matter; neither would the Baby Boomer generation.

  • Chamber Community Guide another milestone

    It seems that Culpeper is destined for awards and the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Community Guide is another milestone on our journey.

  • When is my dog ready to breed?

    Q: I have been having trouble breeding my dog. How do I know when she is ready to breed?

  • All men are created equal

    Evil is a reality, and it does raise its ugly head, under cover of darkness, and believe me, there is a lot of darkness around us.

  • Washington's letter to Culpeper

    On April 6, 1789 General George Washington was unanimously elected as president of the new United States of America and in 1792, was again elected without dissent.
