Seven Mile Style: A Night Out on the Town for Men
This year, more than ever, the fact that spring is finally here is absolutely amazing! It seems like we’ve waited a whole year to finally start getting dressed up and heading back out on the town again.

Beach Reads
It’s been a long and interesting winter, and I’m happy to say I spent a lot of time in front of the fireplace catching up on some great books. The spring column of Beach Reads is my chance to tell you all about the books I read over the winter, especially my favorite ones that I don’t want you to miss. From a mistreated enslaved woman trying to find a new life in Gettysburg to hotel guests trapped in the Swiss Alps, there is something here for everyone.

Financially Speaking: Riding Out the Pandemic
Wow, it was just about a year ago when the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. You remember life before COVID, don’t you? Maybe “Yesterday,” the 1965 Beatles classic written by Paul McCartney, sums it up. “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they’re here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday.”
Days Gone By
How better to remind us that spring has sprung than by taking a look at the world-famous Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary? This view is circa 1958.
DVD: Steve Martin Movies
If there’s been a better contemporary physical comedian than Steve Martin, I’ve yet to see that person.
