06/09/2011, The Riverdale Press (Bronx, NY) After laboring all week and taking care of the kids in the evening, it can be easy to forget about me-time. Setting aside precious moments to socialize and maintain friendships can get lost in the whirlwind. So, where do people go when adult company is the goal but the kids must tag along? Since the smoking ban in bars and restaurants, it’s much easier to bring children out for an (early) night on the town or a bite to eat than ever. Ample space, highchairs, outdoor seating and a child-friendly staff and culture are just a few of the qualities to look for in an appropriate child/adult hangout.

By Jordan Carroll & Richard Stein - 5/19/2011, The Riverdale Press (Bronx, NY) Think outside the box is a common maxim used to evoke creativity, but more often than not, artist Lanny Lasky, who died at 84 on May 7, incorporated boxes of every size and shape in her found-object constructions. The longtime Riverdale resident, who most recently lived with Burton Lasky — her husband of more than 60 years — at an assisted living facility in Kennett Square, Pa., was trained as a paint-on-canvas artist at Los Angeles City College, the University of Vermont and Goddard College and studied privately with Leo Manso and Henry Kallem.

Magazine FeaturesStowaway MagazineTicket through Time
01/25/13, Stowaway Magazine Longing for another time or place isn’t a concept singular to the twenty-first century, but we have definitely mastered it. Nostalgia is everywhere: In our music. Our movies. Our television shows. Our clothes. Our books. We seek the retro fashion of the 1960s or ’80s. TV viewers are mesmerized by award-winning dramas like Downton Abbey and its depiction of Britain’s servants and elite of the 1920s—or Mad Men’s business executives of the ’60s. We dream about the beautiful culture of Paris in the 1890s. Books take us to cities and times that are not our own. In a time when war and political conflict are common, we often yearn for the earth’s simpler “golden” ages. To read to the entire article, click here. A Fresh Look at Travel Journaling

05/16/2012, Stowaway Magazine It’s been said that a person needs only 20 seconds of insane courage. Just 20 seconds. That’s the same amount of time it might take you to wash your hands, set an alarm clock, or fall asleep. But in that same 20 seconds, you can fall thousands of feet through the sky, plummet headfirst toward an alligator-infested river, or fly off the side of a cliff. Since the 1700s, people have been finding ways to fall for fun, beginning with jumping out of hot air balloons. But since then, methods have changed dramatically (and, thankfully, are safer than ever). So if you’ve plucked up 20 seconds of courage, what adventure will you take? Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking for another quest, you might want to consider these falling-based activities. To read the entire article, visit this link. From Wright Brothers to Wi-Fi
06/07/2012, Stowaway Magazine From the time Orville and Wilbur Wright left the ground for a mere five minutes in 1903, flying has mesmerized people around the world. And it’s understandable. Who doesn’t want to soar over snowcapped vistas, view the world’s remote islands from above, or travel to and from Europe in record times? Flying via airplane is a sight and speed humankind hadn’t experienced until 109 years ago, and the history of commercial flying is as speedy as flight itself. Now flying is available to more people across the globe, and it’s more luxurious than ever—which is far from where commercial flying began. To read the entire article, visit this link. |

'Kelsey Kids' hold reunion
April 2010, The Gilmer Mirror (Gilmer, TX) More than a century after the first families established the Kelsey area, their children and grandchildren gathered for the first official “Kelsey Kids” reunion. The idea of reuniting Kelsey families came after Rod Carroll created the Kelsey Kids Facebook group in January with the initial purpose stemming out of the desire to share photographs of ancestors and families raised in Kelsey. “I wanted to share pictures of my grandmother, Laurie Dixon, and other relatives with my cousins online,” said Rod Carroll, creator of the Kelsey Kids group. “I invited 20 people to the group and now there are 238 people.” As members of the group multiplied, hundreds of tender memories and funny tales spread. In four months, the group has shared more than 1,000 old photos. To read the entire article, visit this link. |
