One morning last week, I woke up with some thoughts barking in my brain, running around in circles, begging to be unleashed. So I sat down at my computer and dashed out the following on Facebook:
Singer/Songwriter Brooks Williams will perform at Music on Malphrus, 110 Malphrus Road, in Bluffton on Friday, April 20th at 7:00 pm. General Admission is $20. Doors open at 6 pm.
“Another hotly debated question among physicists is what happens if you enter a wormhole [a shortcut that connects two distant points in space and time] and go backward in time. If you then kill your grandfather before you are born, then you have a paradox. How can you exist at all if you just killed your ancestor? Einstein’s theory actually allows for time travel (if negative energy exists) but says nothing about how to resolve these paradoxes. String theory, because it is a finite theory in which everything can be calculated, should be able to resolve all these mind-twisting paradoxes.” -Michio Kaku, The Future of Humanity (Doubleday, 2018)
Friends of Caroline Hospice will host their annual fashion show event, “Fashion for Compassion,” on Friday, April 20th, starting at 5pm at Tabby Place in historic downtown Beaufort.
Easter is my favorite holiday! It's better than Christmas. It's better than Thanksgiving. It's even better than my birthday. Such a special holiday requires a special meal. Dinner during the day is a very Southern thing. Even though “dinner” is eaten at lunchtime, it's a bigger deal than “supper.” Supper implies a less formal meal. For example, if I say I'm having a little “supper party,” you'll figure that it's nothing grand, not too much effort will be expended. If friends are invited over for a “dinner party,” they'll expect something more upscale than a casserole. And yes, we eat on dinner plates, not supper plates. Holidays are big deals. They're always dinners.
In 1968 young ‘Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards penned what eventually became Rolling Stone magazine’s 100th greatest song of all times, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” But thanks to the power of manifesting, maybe you can, as long as you embrace what the other half of the British Invasion assured, “All you need is love.”
My sister is in the hospital. She is in the ICU and will be for a while. Here is my problem. Most of the nurses and other people are wonderful, caring, and sweet. Unfortunately, there is one nurse who is a real rhymes with witch.
University of Exeter’s all male a cappella sensation SEMI-TONED is headed for a one- night-only performance at USCB Center for the Arts on Thursday, April 12 at 7:30 pm.
Bren McClain will be at NeverMore Books in downtown Beaufort on Friday, March 23, signing copies of her award-winning novel One Good Mama Bone, published by Pat Conroy’s Story River Books.
Set in early 1950s rural South Carolina, One Good Mama Bone chronicles Sarah Creamer's quest to find her "mama bone" after she is left to care for a boy who is not her own, but the product of an affair between her husband and her best friend and neighbor, a woman she calls "Sister.”
