Glance out the window to see what the weather’s doing. Good. Now peek again. Sure, it’s only been a few seconds, but that’s long enough for northeast Ohio to throw us another curve ball. The temperature may have changed by 20 or 30 degrees. If it was sunny, now it’s raining. Or ...
In 1956, filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock released one of his masterpieces, “The Man Who Knew Too Much.” It was a film full of suspense, intrigue and not knowing what was really going on. Seventy years after Hitchcock’s movie, we’re now “The People Who Know Too Much.” Our lives are ...
About 150 miles south and a tad east of Normal, Illinois, sits the village of Oblong. I know this because once upon a time, I wrote for a newspaper in Decatur, Illinois, which was a little closer to Normal than Oblong. One day, the society page of our newspaper carried this headline: “Normal ...
You can’t hide from The Joke Lady. I met Marcie “The Joke Lady” Danyi of Niles by U.S. Postal Service back in 2020, shortly after some annoying virus was making its rounds in the news — and the world. Marcie was 78 back then (“My mind still thinks I’m 25,” she told me. “My ...

Yesterday, the warm scents of apples, cinnamon and nutmeg were wafting from my kitchen. While the temperatures outside may not yet feel like fall, transparent apples are ready, and that means it’s time to can apple pie filling. If you’ve read my column for a while, I’ve written about ...
One of the loveliest spring-blooming trees on our property is the serviceberry, Amelanchier x grandiflora. It is a cultivar called “Autumn Brilliance,” a name that hints at its beauty in another season. Ours is a hybrid of the native serviceberries Downy and Allegheny, which would make it ...
We were looking for a quick escape from the winter chill when a friend and I decided to make the trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden to check out its annual orchid show. “Love In Bloom” is the theme this year, and what a gorgeous feast of flowers for the winter-weary — 3,000 blooms ...

So here we are — mid-March, just a day past the astronomical first day of spring, the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Whether our weather decides to cooperate with what we call spring is another story entirely. Around here, spring tends to flirt more than it commits. One day ...
Holy cow — can you believe it? We made it to St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Or, if you’re someone around here who treats it like a full-on holiday season (and honestly, many do), St. Patrick’s Day week. And in my humble — very biased — opinion, this area has always done St. ...
Now that Valentine’s Day is behind us, I feel like I can say this without causing a family meeting. Valentine’s Day has always been my holiday to dote on my family. Not in the dramatic, rose-petal, rom-com way — but in the way that makes sense for us. This year included teenage boys, ...
So clearly, I have not been the only one hunkering down at some point or another this winter. If January had a cheerleading squad, it would be chanting over and over again: “Brr! It’s cold in here! I said there must be some Toros in the atmosphere!” Yes, that’s right — I just ...

Engelbert Humperdinck’s 2024-25 tour was supposed to be his final one. He even billed it as “The Last Waltz” tour. Humperdinck quickly decided he wanted to keep dancing or, in his case, singing. “I sat at home for about two, three months, and I was climbing the wall,” Humperdinck ...
