Hunt Museum and Cultural Center housed inside.

Light and easy
Somewhat to my pseudo-horror, I overheard a group of teenage girls in a local restaurant this past week. (I wasn't eavesdropping; it was unavoidable.) Their topic reminded me of all those impending "swimsuit seasons" when I was a teen.
Tradition and transition: Columbus Pilgrimage includes a farewell, and a welcome
Change tends to come slowly to a venerable 79-year tradition like the Columbus Spring Pilgrimage. But, as with all things, change does come with the passage of time. This year's annual Pilgrimage marks an exit, and an entrance -- a farewell to the tour by one homeowner family, and the beginning of another family's antebellum journey.

Foggily judging the time to be about 4:30 a.m., I thankfully figured I had a couple more hours to dream. Reality intruded seemingly five minutes later when the alarm -- set for 6:30 -- sounded off. How could it possibly be time to get up for work?
