Our host Hal is alone at his seaside house. His daughter, my good friend Kate, and her 13-year-old son Carlos will arrive next week.

A Drinker’s Guide to Milwaukee
Milwaukee's history is steeped in beer. When German immigrants settled here, they brought with them old country recipes that tasted like home.

These breweries were major employers to generations of immigrants, and helped build the city's economic foundation. Before my recent visit to Milwaukee, I … [Read more...]

Saul Bolanos: A Modern Day Alchemist
John M. Edwards finds out that Costa Rican Artist Saul Bolaños’s Medium Is Hot Costa Rica, a coffee democracy in a sea of banana republics, is known more for its number-one export than its art.

Conned By An Entire Community?
We'd been in Nepal's bustling capital city less than 24 hours. In what has become routine upon arriving in a new city, I was up around sunrise eager to wander out and explore the streets of a place that's been a dream of mine for over a decade.
