CONNECTING POINT: Instructions Matter

I’m a “Jack-of-all-trades guy,” or at least attempt to fix or take on projects often, sometimes out of the wish to save money, or even to assist other people. One of my favorite resources is YouTube, where you can find a “how-to” tutorial on almost anything. Sometimes these videos are beneficial, and other times I learn little; it just depends on the presenter. At other times, I rely on instructio...Whitehall · Whitehall Read Article

Op-Ed: The 1783 Project

One year from now, you will not be able to turn around without receiving notice of America’s semiquincentennial jubilee. The jollity of the occasion will not change the fact that it will be seven years premature. The historical significance assigned to July 4, 1776, the date the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, is befuddling. Without victory in the Revolu...Whitehall · Whitehall Read Article

The hotel used club-style seating, which meant tables were set for eight and guests were seated together to encourage conversation and a sense of community. On the third night, I was seated first and poured myself a glass of wine. A family...Whitehall · Whitehall Read Article
