“Give back what you’ve learned, Share your experience.” 365 TAO, Daily Mediations* I try to read a passage from the Tao Te Ching every morning. I find that it’s a wonderful way to get myself grounded and start my day off on the right foot. And now that I’m substitute teaching here in Horry County, […]

The melody and lyrics to “Church in the Wildwood” have stuck in my head ever since I first heard them as a child. The lyrics go: Come to the church in the wildwood, Come to the church in the vale. No spot is as dear to my childhood as the little brown church in the […]

If you’re anything like me, the idea of exploring an art museum can be somewhat intimidating. First of all, there’s usually an admission fee. Once you pay it, you’ve invested in the process, so you want to get something worthwhile out of it. Right? Fair enough. However, there’s all that artwork hanging about to look […]

I think there’s something very magical and mysterious about sea shells. How did they come to be? How old are they? Where did they come from and how long did it take them to arrive here on the Grand Strand beaches? They’re just so nifty; it’s almost as if they are gifts from King Neptune […]

I’ve always loved watching birds – especially here in South Carolina, where there seems to be an endless supply of all colors and kinds. There’s also something very remarkable about their flights of fancy; the way they swoop and soar so effortlessly. The long and short of it is that I get a real kick […]

I grew up in Webster, New York, on the shore of Lake Ontario. Irondequoit Bay lay to the West and a centuries-old Seneca Indian trail (now paved over and predictably called Bay Road) was located about a 1/4 mile away from our house. The Trail ran south from the lake to what is now Victor, […]

I’m always on the lookout for either the unusual or the unexpected – must be something genetic – my dad was an Industrial Engineer at Kodak and conducted time and motion studies for fifty years. I always thought of him as a sort of detective. He was always looking for new and more efficient ways […]

In my latest “Notes” article, I introduced, perhaps more accurately “re-introduced” Sasee readers to women, (both past and present) in the Grand Strand area who have contributed so much to our local culture and history. Since space is somewhat limited for these articles, it was a difficult choice, believe me; to select just a few […]

As a longtime resident of Weston, Connecticut, I was accustomed to seeing movie and TV stars on a regular basis. It was not unusual to see Robert Redford riding his motorcycle or Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward grocery shopping. So when I moved here to the Grand Strand, I thought it might be interesting to […]

As a Connecticut Yankee now living in South Carolina, I must admit that I’m incredibly enthusiastic about the Grand Strand beaches – they are such an improvement over my beach options in the Northeast that I’ve entitled this piece: By the Sea, by the Beautiful See. So, for starters, what’s the problem with the beach […]
