Time Period: July 29 – August 28 Miles Driven: 2764 The last segment of our Summer 2009 travels was wrapping up our cross country adventure and arriving for Burning Man.

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, a Georgia boy like me, gave his name to the theatre. What better place for Dickey, a Georgian, to read his story about Georgians, fictional though they be. The evening came about as an accident. A friend with a literary bent was

I rarely get political on the blog these days because, frankly, my focus is elsewhere most of the time and I tend to rant and rave about politics on blogs where the writing is good and the commentary lively. That said, I cannot avoid this subject because it hits too close to home. This could very well determine my future regardless of what a board of insurers, doctors, lawyers, and a judge say I can do about my nursing career.

"What real chefs can do with red-sauce Italian." One could be forgiven for expecting very little from Basta Pasta. It sits on a traffic-heavy Cambridge street lined with bodegas and split-level homes. No waiters—just a walk-up counter whose chalkboard menu reads like the Olive Garden’s.

But it also comes in the form of fertilizer spreaders, pesticide sprayers, shovels and rakes — and Midwestern common sense.

By Jessica Hobby Catto President Obama talks the talk on energy conversion but it is time to start walking the walk. And I don't mean stroll. I mean training for a marathon. Time's a-wasting. While the topic is not at the top of the list of everyone's preeminent worries, it soon will be, and then all the horses will have left the barn for higher ground.
