“Fix or repair guy” I’m a “fix-or-repair-guy.” I differentiate this self-description from a “throw-away-and-buy-new-guy.” Rapid replacement of broken items is, without a doubt, the more efficient course of action. I might spend two to ten hours repairing something that I could reorder from Amazon in under 30 seconds. Silly. There is evidently some other criterion at play here. Questions of efficiency and pricing my time never rise to the surface. I’d just rather fix it. It’s fun. This week, the cleaning ladies dropped a hand painted tile made by Billie’s now thirty-somethin…

Ever notice how it seems like everyone’s grandparents either live in Florida or plan to? It’s not your imagination. There’s a genuine, almost magnetic draw that pulls older adults to the Sunshine State — and it’s not just about the weather, although that certainly helps. Every year, thousands of retirees make the migration south into what feels like a rite of passage, trading snow shovels for sunglasses and chilly holidays for year-round warmth. But what’s really behind this massive senior migration? Is it the beaches? The tax breaks? The shuffleboard? Or is there something deeper …

Ulrika Torquato is as diverse in the countries she has lived in as in the careers she has pursued: medical doctor, a career as opera singer and currently  postgraduate studies in palliative care psychology.

A well-kept classic wooden boat always grabs my attention. Full disclosure: I’m partial to wooden sailing yachts’ sleek, graceful lines and impressive sailing performance. That said, I also enjoy viewing finely finished wooden motor yachts. While my favorite salty workboats have a decidedly quirky appeal, fine wooden motor yachts offer a real feast for the eyes. When I see one gliding along on the water, or it’s docked at a local marina, it literally stops me in my tracks. Imagine my delight when I learned that Annapolis, Maryland was hosting a Trumpy Classic Yacht Rendezvous in June …

It's all here, and it's a lot more entertaining than it has any right to be.Along the way: the industry's long, weird history of cycling between doom and reinvention (spoiler: this isn't Hollywood's first near-death experience), the never-ending fi…
