Lady Scouts by Tiffany Blair
A Woman, A Story, & A Life In-Between: Lady Scouts I keep hearing so much about the 2013 Boy Scout national jamboree that is taking place in the area this month, and I can’t help but feel slighted that there isn’t a similar opportunity available to women like myself.

Life Lessons Learned From Being Around Insensible People by Jim Shock
Wisdom From The Woods – Life Lessons Learned From Being Around Insensible People I love debunking myths about West Virginia. My favorite is we’re illiterate. I know for sure, we can read. I don’t mean words, necessarily. We “read” each other constantly. We read every nuance of our neighbors with our senses. We read with […]
Black Gold Blues by Margaret Baker
I am amused by the fact that though we Americans disagree on nearly everything we all seem to rally behind the need to reduce our dependence on Foreign oil. It’s one of those empty things politicians say to milk the applause while they flash the thumbs up and cop the photo op with a windmill. […]

Shoes For Science by Tiffany Blair
I fell this morning. I was running late and stepped on a small rock in the driveway as I hustled to my vehicle. My ankle turned, my arms flailed wildly, and for a fleeting moment I thought I’d saved myself. I was wrong. I went down like a ton of bricks (bricks wrapped in a […]
