South Carolina author Tom Poland's latest column looks back at an interview he conducted seven years ago with a Georgia defense attorney named Bob Clyatt whose experience with an injured client motivated him to start a non-profit organization called Kids' Chance.

Geocaching Abundant on American Tobacco Trail


This weekend my husband's sister, brother-in-law, brother, brother's girlfriend and two dogs visited. The beautiful weather and desire to find something all of us -- including the dogs -- could do together, prompted us to hit the American Tobacco Trail.

food and environment

Halloween candy was too much this year. We need to double check our Dental Plan :). I have been thinking about the connection of food and our environment.

WHEN WE'VE COMPLETED FORMATIVE PARENTING AND THEY ARE GROWN: WHAT THEY NEED FROM US NOW...

A friend recently emailed me to vent frustration over his grown son's seeming lack of ambition, gratitude and direction. As I typed my reply, it occurred to me that this may be something of which we all stand reminding. My reply follows:

"I understand your anguish completely. First, I want to tell you that your son belongs to a different generation than ours, and he is much aligned with many of his contemporaries. Like Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" shares, we will never follow them, nor their d… Continue

Pinata Bounty - How to truly enjoy that Halloween candy still sitting in your house.

8 o'clock on Halloween night, my son pours his ghoulishly delicious loot onto my living room floor.
"149 pieces!" he proclaims, evidence of his hard work as a trick-or-treater.
Normally, a wave of nauseousness, then fear, would have washed over me...but instead I smile and say, "Enjoy!", because I know not all that candy will stay in my house.
C'mon, admit it. How many of you have loaded Easter baskets with leftover Halloween candy? It's just too much candy for one household to house.
For my son… Continue
