One of my work colleagues who’s also working on the magazine extended the invitation for me to chat with Lynn Davis, the founder of Beer Connoisseur... [Read more ]

“…the universe is unfolding as it should” “…the universe is unfolding as it should”

It’s crazy the things that you remember from your childhood. When I was a kid, I spent alot of time at my grandparents’ house. My grandmother - an incurable pack rat (due to a recessive gene I’m sure I inherited) - always had these interesting things around the house that I’d ‘meddle’ with, keeping myself entertained for hours.

By itself, the trashcan was nothing remarkable, but what had me so enchanted with this... [Read more...]

Is there a difference between the history of America and the history of African Americans? Should there be?
