Wisdom From the Woods – Life Lessons Learned from Being Around Truly Compassionate People by Jim Shock
Wisdom from the Woods – Life Lessons Learned from Being Around Truly Compassionate People For better or worse, West Virginians look out for one another.

Victory is Mine! by Tiffany Blair
It would appear my indulgent lifestyle is finally catching up with me. I had some blood work done last week and the results were less than stellar.

Marty Stuart & The Fabulous Superlatives
I’m completely thrilled and grateful to have been in the audience for the recent concert by country music performers MARTY STUART and the FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES.

Skateboard Park Fundraiser, April 6th
When I was in junior high and high school, I always envied my friends who rode skateboards. See, I’m a total scared-y cat when it comes to things like that. For instance, I live 22 miles from a ski resort, and the most I’ve ever done there is eat Mexican food, have a few drinks, […]
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at Irish Pub, March 17
People like to say that on St. Patrick’s day everybody’s Irish. That’s not entirely true, but we’ll overlook it for the moment.

Kiss Me, I’m Irish! by Tiffany Blair
Kiss me, I’m Irish! Well, half-Irish, anyway. You may not guess it to look at me, but I’m a bona fide descendant of immigrants from the Emerald Isle. My maternal great-grandparents sailed forth from Ireland and started a family in the beautiful, bountiful state of…New Jersey. Okay, so maybe it wasn’t the most exotic place […]
Wisdom From the Woods: Life Lessons Learned from Being Around a Lost Soul by Jim Shock
Wisdom from the Woods – Life Lessons Learned from Being Around a Lost Soul In February, happiness is a fickle friend. The shortest month goes unrushed for me.

Ben Williams & Sound Effect at Carnegie Hall
