When we last encountered Charlie a few weeks ago, I told you that, at 105 years of age, he had slipped on the ice while shoveling his front walk, broken his ankle, and driven himself to the hospital. I heard that piece of the story from others, and like many good stories, it was slightly […]

Since edible meals (and even snacks!) on flights are a distant, gut-rumbling memory, it’s critical for the health and well-being of your own personal, frequent-traveling self to know where to find decent food in an airport.

For an American from Kansas, dining with a dozen fast-talking Jamaicans feels like a Bob Marley concert at 78 rpm. It goes by quick, and the accents are thick. You have to pay attention with both ears, all of your brain, and preferably a slang dictionary (Jamaican-to-English).

If you answered yes […]
