Star rising
Every so often in journalism you get to commit a paradox, by definition “a seemingly absurd statement or proposition that when investigated may prove to be well-founded or true.” That’s especially true in writing commentary about real events or people. Here’s a paradox: I’m writing a farewell to a journalist who will remain robustly among us. But next week, he’ll […] The post Star rising first appeared on Charlotte County Florida Weekly.
Day for Honor
In the American military experience, calendar time is one thing, perhaps — the nation is 247 years old and so is its military service — but time in memory is another, a fact never more apparent than on Veterans Day. Many living veterans of World War II, now in their late 90s or older, remember old Civil War veterans from […] The post Day for Honor first appeared on Charlotte County Florida Weekly.

On a misty morning in Vienna in October 2019, a 34-year-old Kenyan named Eliud Kipchoge, weighing in at 126 pounds, ran the fastest time ever recorded for 26.2 miles, racing through a flat course about 550 feet above sea level with a support team pacing him and delivering fluids until near the end. After months of what one observer called […] The post The marathon first appeared on Charlotte County Florida Weekly.
Fast Train
When Brightline fast trains finally made their initial runs between Miami and the newly opened train station in Terminal C at Orlando International Airport starting the first day of autumn — a 235-mile trip of about 3.5 hours envisioned more than a decade ago, and currently with four stops en route — owners and riders appeared ecstatic. For good reason. […] The post Fast Train first appeared on Charlotte County Florida Weekly.
The way dogs live with us now is not necessarily new
When I see dogs depicted in portraits or other art — all the way back to cave art — I wonder what their lives were like. What kind of relationship did they have with their people? Did they live in the house? Sleep on the bed? Eat special meals? We tend to think of these things as relatively recent developments, […] The post The way dogs live with us now is not necessarily new first appeared on Charlotte County Florida Weekly.
