Have you found yourself at a café in Paris, struggling to remember pronouns and sentence structure from your freshman French class so you can order your croissant and coffee without accidentally asking for a purple horse? We’ve been there, too. There are a number of excellent app and online language courses to coach you and refresh your skills, but Lingo Playing Cards is a new and fun way to stay on top of things.

Time to Unwind

I recently returned from my second annual golf trip to Kiawah Island, where we enjoyed fantastic weather. Upon arrival, the group met for lunch at The Ryder Cup Bar, located at The Ocean Course, one of the top-ranked courses in the country. Luckily, we were not playing that day, as the wind whipped up and brought unscheduled douses of rain. As one of the caddies told me, wind gusts of 35 mph made the course unplayable. But some players braved the conditions as we sat comfortably inside enjoying our first lunch of the trip while chairs cascaded outside and players tried to keep their shots on track.
