Lighthouses are famous for their hauntings, or so I gather from watching the Travel Channel for a few hours of ghost hunting shows (save your get-well cards; I'm recovering). Those shows are popular now, or so I infer, given their prevalence. Brave teams of paranormal investigators visit haunted locations and find ... Read More

My grandfather and the 10 Tobys (all of his dogs were named Toby) avoided the Middaugh brothers, who lived on a neighboring farm at the bottom of the long, steep road that connected most of the farms in the area when I was a boy. The road made a quick turn just before the Middaugh house ... Read More

If we're honest, those we now consider "famous pipesmokers" did not gain notoriety because of their pipesmoking. They earned acclaim through their writings, or movies, or philosophy, or creative genius, and it just so happened they also smoked a pipe. ... Read More
