A Weekend of Good Friends, Festivals, and a Tipped Over Canoe
I often enjoy dissecting my weekends after they are over, figuring out what made me happy and what why. This past weekend I really had fun, and I think it was because I had such a packed few days. I made a list that I thought I’d never get done, […]

Unclaimed Baggage Center is an Alabama Treasure Trove
Years ago while I was doing an appearance on CNN, I mentioned the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama. The host’s ears perked up, she hadn’t ever heard of it. After our TBEX conference in Huntsville, we took a few days to tour the beautiful countryside of Northern Alabama and […]
Atout France in Boston: What’s New in Provence
France is my favorite country. I’ve been there more than any other country, and I never tire of learning more about what’s going on there. Paul Shoul and I got a chance to learn about the newly renamed French Riviera last night, at a meeting of Provence and Cote d’Azur […]
