Ol Jersey Gal Remembering The Shores
The above photo is an angled view of a piece of Atlantic City, New Jersey in 2025. Photos like this one have me reminiscing about my childhood in New Jersey and many summer holidays spent at "The Shores". For my family there were three swimming spots that we frequented: Asbury Park, Seaside Heights, and McDonald Park - which was a lake and park, no longer open to the public today. I never went to visit Atlantic City when I was a child, though I had heard plenty of the adults talk about their mini-vacations there especially the women who loved bingo and the slot machines.

Valentine’s Day A Not So Romantic Journey Going Back to Ancient Greece
Valentine’s Day A Not So Romantic Journey Going Back to Ancient Greece Valentine’s Day now a global celebration of love romance and affection is often associated with heart shaped chocolates flowers jewelry and grand romantic gestures. The history of this holiday is far darker and more complex than its modern commercialized version. While many trace its roots to ancient Rome and the pagan festival of Lupercalia some historians believe its origins go even further back to ancient Greece where the Arcadian Lykaia festival was held. This mysterious and archaic celebration along with its Roman counterpart played a crucial role in shaping what eventually became Valentine’s Day. The Arcadian Lykaia festival held in the lush green meadows of Arcadia in the Peloponnese was an ancient ritual dedicated to the god Pan. Pan the rustic deity of the wild nature and fertility was worshipped in natural settings rather than temples usually in caves and grottos. He was often depicted as a half goat half man figure playing his magical flute and seducing nymphs. According to mythology Arcadia was a land of divine beauty home to nymphs dryads and naiads who roamed its forests and streams. The festival which took place on the slopes of Mount Lykaion Wolf Mountain included secret sacrificial rituals and rites of passage that involved elements of both fertility and savagery.

March 3rd, 1923 Luretha Mae Harlem, N.Y. My Dear Friend, When everyone else in the house is asleep, I see you, my seraph in the paper, and I shackle you. Your six pierced palms become my sanctum, carpeting my conjunctiva, thus concealing your countenance. Your mouth molds to mine and your ischium chisels at my pelvis. And then, I am clean.

These Native American tribes had been living across the continent for thousands of years, developing intricate societies, languages, cultures, and technologies. The diversity among these groups was vast: in the Northeast, the Iroquois Confederacy brought together six distinct nations under a sophisticated political structure, while the Mississippian culture in the Southeast constructed grand earthen mounds and traded across large regions. In the Great Plains, nomadic tribes like the Sioux hunted buffalo, and in the Southwest, the Puebloans built impressive cliff dwellings. The Pacific Northwest was home to the Tlingit and Haida peoples, who built totem poles and lived off the bounty of the sea. These tribes had their own systems of governance, economies, and spiritual beliefs, each deeply connected to the land they inhabited.
