Dating to 1876, the Calhoun Mansion at No. 16 Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina represents one man’s effort to restore pride and grandeur to post-Civil War Charleston . This is not the former residence of the legendary John C. Calhoun (1782-1850). Rather, the Calhoun association with this home is in the personage of [...]

A couple of years ago I visited my friend Robert in New York.  The great thing about visiting him is that each time I do, he lives in a different part of the city, and at that time he was living in Brooklyn.  He had a three story house that was rent controlled, and he [...]

Okay, I’m only 21 but I think after last summer I have much of the rest of my life planned out. No one takes me seriously when I tell them this so I’m confiding it to you though I express my plans to manifest these elements in a more relaxed fashion. It all started when [...]

Somedays I just want to relax and do nothing at all; some of the best days of my life, in fact, I’ve spent doing just that, often lounging on a grassy hill or under a tree in a park.  One of the best parks in which to do that might just be located in the [...]

Growing up in Philadelphia I couldn’t help but be a sports fan. And when asked which is my favorite many people are surprised to hear that it’s baseball.

Well, sure I encouraged Paul to apply to Columbia University and thought it would be great choice for him. Meanwhile, I really only considered the quality and reputation of the theater department and the importance of his graduate degree. I really didn’t think about the reality of his life there, well and that part is [...]

A show that I watched regularly for a few months, was “CSI Miami”, and in the opening credits the airboat careens through the swamplands with Horatio standing ever so perfect, in his suit and his shades, while the Who is blasting in the background.  One of the funnest experiences I had was when I was [...]

We wanted to rest on New Year’s day, but we decided to take on New York City with very little sleep. We headed out of one of the top New York City hotels and it was snowing a little, it was only 32 degrees and the wind wasn’t blowing, so it wasn’t so bad to [...]

Michael could hardly wait to get to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He had only been there once before and that just happened to be in the summer. The town was relatively quiet at that time and he was there because his good friend Jim invited him on a kayaking trip. He had a great time on [...]

Amsterdam is famous across the world for many of its contemporary cultural aspects that are either illegal or considered to be taboo in many other countries and regions.

Singapore is a place for instant nostalgia, it would seem.  It has a fabulous culture, and is really a big conglomeration of cultures that spread out in multiple directions, and it’s endlessly fascinating.  Trying to find common threads is like trying to find the world’s first potato, where it surely must have existed somewhere, but [...]

If you were to ask, who won the highest honor in architecture, the Pritzker Prize, for the year 2003, you probably wouldn’t be able to provide an answer; however, if you were asked to describe that large building constructed like a series of billowing sails in Sydney, Australia, you’d probably do much better.  The answer [...]

Way back in the day, before all the modern means of transportation and communication, there was a daring soul. Way back in 1858, most of us can not relate, to the shock and awe of the very first balloon flight lifting off the city of Melbourne Australia. On February 1st, back in the day, the [...]
