The free things that go with lunches
This is not like the US President saying "the jury is still out on global warming", but it still failed to convince certain members of my family. The lunches are not exactly free, but there are free things that go with lunches.

Many objects in this spacious, comfortable and elegant house recall that trail of visual and tactile assonances that has strewn clues from China to Venice.

A classic love story for Valentine's Day
It's a classic love story. The cheerleader adviser and the head football coach meet and fall for each other in the high school halls. That story played out at Lebanon High School, where Warriors cheerleading coach Bethanie (Landis) and football coach Shawn Lamb met seven years ago.
