Utah, France: Visiting the other American D-Day beach

Most Americans visiting France's D-Day sites focus, understandably, on Omaha Beach — where thousands died on June 6, 1944. But if you're planning to visit Normandy, don't miss the other American landing site: Utah. It's the westernmost of the five sectors of the Norman coast given code names by the Allies (with British and Canadian troops landing at Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach). Utah Beach, added as a landing site late in D-Day planning, proved critical. This was […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: How do you want to be remembered?

Several years ago, my father stood with head bowed at a graveside funeral service. As the minister spoke, Dad began reading tombstones immediately nearby. One caught his eye. Just below the birth and death dates were three words: “He grew peaches.” What a revelation, he thought. A man’s entire career summed up in one single phrase. Dad said it made him think about how many notable people get remembered for one thing only. What comes to mind when you think […]

The incredible edibles of Belgium

Whenever I think of Belgium, I recall digging into a dish of mussels while seated on a sunny square in Brussels, in the shadow of a lacy medieval spire. My waiter bragged, "In Belgium, we eat as hearty as the Germans and as fine as the French." Belgium is where France meets northern Europe — and you can taste the cultural influences. The Flemish (Dutch-speaking natives of Flanders — now northern Belgium) were ruled by the dukes of Burgundy, and […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Spring cleaning

At lunch a few days ago, my friend Tom said he and his wife planned a “spring cleaning” weekend. What a waste of two days! But after I got home, I researched the subject. Actually, this annual ritual is older than athlete’s foot. Even primitive tree dwellers cleaned their nests each April by sweeping away dead branches, poisonous snakes, and out-of-fashion animal skins. So, I wrote down a few suggestions to help speed through this horrible chore. Wear old clothes, […]

Souvenir shopping in Europe? Lighten up

Shopping in Europe can be fun, but don't let it overwhelm your trip. On one guided tour of the British Houses of Parliament I saw half the group skip out on the tour to survey an enticing array of plastic "bobby" hats, Big Ben briefs, and Union Jack panties instead. Focus on local experiences, and don't let your trip become a glorified shopping spree. As a fanatic about packing light, I used to wait until the end of my trip […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Baseball

Hey, it's baseball season! This game requires a glove and a moving bat, but it's got nothing to do with vampires. It takes place on a "diamond," or four bases arranged in a square. There aren't real diamonds involved, so players won't get distracted by bright stones. Offensive players take turns trying to hit a ball thrown by the defensive team's pitcher. However, if the batter thumps the other team's player or an umpire with his bat, he might be […]

Sightseeing high and low in hilly Lyon

Smartly situated Lyon — just south of Burgundy, north of Provence, east of the Alps, and centered on a peninsula at the convergence of two major rivers — has long been a major culture hub. But its enjoyable cityscape is refreshingly untouristy, despite its welcoming old town, classy shops, worthwhile museums, and renowned cuisine. Just two hours from Paris by train, Lyon makes an easy one- or two-night stopover. Lyon's sights are concentrated in three areas: historic Vieux Lyon (the […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Moving day

Many of us consider moving days stressful. Moves scared me so much I bought a book on getting organized…but then I lost it. But here’s what I remember about changing locations. First, throw away stuff you don’t need, like old gum wrappers, telephone books before 1999 and dead bugs. Keep important things like the TV, the DVD player and that autographed photo from the mud-wrestling championships. Next, sort your papers. For instance, school papers go in one pile. Bills and […]

COMMENTARY: You DO NOT have to play basketball in Illinois to succeed in pro basketball

I usually like reading sports commentaries from the Decatur Herald & Review's Mark Tupper. The most recent piece, titled "Illinois' value could soar with some success", goes through the struggles the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has had under basketball coach Brad Underwood. In two years with Underwood at the helm, the Fighting Illini are 26-39 and 11-27 in Big Ten Conference action (as of publication). Combined with the final three years of John Groce, the team […]
