Today the chill of the fall is finally upon us. The crisp morning air that wakes you up and gives your breath a cloudy signature is the sign we’re well into fall, finally. It’s Monday morning and a short week lies ahead. Next week I’m going down to NYC for some […]
Today’s cool temps make it a great day to sit inside and read. The Springfield Republican included a story about the local mob, and some of the characters described sound like people you wouldn’t want to meet. According to a police affidavit, there is a new crop of leaders running […]
Photographer Paul Shoul always tries to get backstage, he goes behind the scenes to find the best shots. Here he found the gorgeous Greenlanders getting in and of their sealskins. The fashion show was followed by a plea from an Inuit woman, asking Europe and the US to allow importation […]

People in Greenland don’t let the cold stop them from living their active, busy lives. Children in daycare trundle out of the classroom into the playground, sliding down hills and enjoying time in the snow. Men ride by on bicycles, and most of the people walk rather than drive. Since […]
