Wit’s End

Dear Aunt Bossy,

I am at my wit’s end and am getting more and more depressed by the day. I have always prided myself on being a free thinker, and having friends of every persuasion, politically, and otherwise. I have some conservative beliefs, liberal beliefs and in-between beliefs.

First Presbyterian Church Hilton Head Island will present the two programs in the “Beaufort County Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” series at 6:30 pm on January 25 and February 1.  The programs are free and open to the public and are preceded by a dinner at 5:30 m. Dinner cost is $10 and reservations are required by 5 pm the Tuesday before.

The Beaufort International Film Festival Celebrates Its 11^th Season With Expanded Schedule

“That’s part of your problem. You haven’t seen enough movies. All of life’s riddles are answered in the movies.” – Steve Martin as 'Davis' in Grand Canyon

I first began writing for this publication nearly nine years ago – in February, 2008. We were freshly relocated from the Pacific Northwest where I wrote for a Seattle Times-owned website. Theater and film figured prominently and my colleagues and I spent most of a month each year covering the Seattle International Film Festival.

It never felt much like Christmas to me this year.
    For starters, it was too dadgum hot – all December, really, but especially Christmas Day. Even up in North Alabama, land of my birth – where it’s usually 10-15 degrees chillier than it is here in Beaufort – it was pushing 80 on December 25th, as we drove from my parent’s house to my sister’s for the big family shindig. I know lots of folks found this yuletide climate “merry and bright,” but in our Family of Many Females, it just meant nobody got to wear their new boots or sweaters.
