Weddings are so much fun and offer a zillion reasons for pre-nuptial parties. Do you like to dress up in pearls and heels? If so, then this menu has been tailored just for you.

"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell
This Orwell quote has been floating around Facebook Nation lately. I keep seeing it, again and again, which isn't particularly unusual. (That's what FB memes do; they multiply.) What is unusual is that the adage keeps popping up on the pages of people who have very different values and, frankly, very different ideas about "truth."
The Art League of Hilton Head announces the exhibition Cycles of Vitality: Ceramic Sculpture by Janis Wilson Hughes opening May 8 in the Walter Greer Gallery on Hilton Head and continuing through June 1.
Not too long ago, a Newark TSA agent informed me that my driver's license was expired. My heart skipped a beat as I imagined his next sentence excusing me from the TSA Pre-Check line to the hell of airport bureaucracy, a lost soul trying to get home without valid identification. (Only now does it dawn on me that I have secondary identification – a military ID – as the spouse of a retired Marine!)
The USCB Center of the Arts is currently hosting "The Escape Collection," a new exhibit by local artist Billy Wilkie. The show will run through May 31st.

I love my work. Unfortunately, just doing a good job is not considered enough by my employer and I am expected to be active in an association that represents my industry.
Remember that old comedy, "Heaven Can Wait"? It came from the quirky movie team of Warren Beatty and Buck Henry in 1978. Beatty starred as a pro football player, routed to heaven prematurely after a bicycle accident by an "over-anxious guardian angel" (Henry) on his first assignment. Jimmy Carter was president back then, gas cost about 70 cents a gallon, and I finally escaped from the grad school rat race, apparently thanks to a few guardian angels of my own and enough caffeine to float a battleship. Yeah, the ribs were really good in Chicago and we liked watching the usually hapless Cubs and White Sox but it was a tough, financially challenged period with too much bike riding on busy streets and counting the loose change in my pockets at lunch time.

My husband and I met over a mutual interest in Shakespeare. Yes, we are that geeky.
