With “Pontius Pilate: The Lost Gospel,” Ojai Performing Arts Theater presented a work of unusual depth and intimacy that reaches far beyond its historical setting.
Heavenly and Easy Homemade White Sandwich Bread Recipe
The legendary James Beard once said, “Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of all feasts.” That being said, eating good bread, and making good bread are two completely different things! For whatever reason, the thought of making my own bread was a scary proposition. I like to think of myself as a fairly decent cook and I have yet to come across an entree that I was afraid to try to make myself. But baking?
4 Ways to Teach Your Parents Tech and to Protect Themselves from Scams
It started with a phone call, a man warning my mom that her computer was messed up, but he could fix it. He just needed remote access to her computer… along with her bank account. That led to a fake PayPal account, a gift card scam that cost her thousands of dollars, and harassing phone calls that still haven’t stopped. When your aging parents get scammed because of something happening with their computer or phone, it’s frustrating to everyone.

From the Sparkella series , Vol. 2 by Channing Tatum ; illustrated by Kim Barnes ‧ Reality puts only a temporary damper on big, glittery plans for a sleepover castle. New school friend Tam, who shared bánh mi at lunch in The One and Only Sparkella (2021), is arriving in two hours, and before that Sparkella needs to make a castle “fit for two royal highnesses.” Unfortunately, even with Dad’s help, the flimsy cardboard construction collapses as soon as Sparkella climbs inside to test it. What to do?

On Fire: Scenes from the Climate Crisis
A story about fire, especially now, is invariably a story about land. The problem before us is how to “live with” what has long been deemed an exogenous threat—to the maximization of timber yields at the start of the twentieth century, to suburban sprawl following WWII. Et cetera. The seemingly endless surplus of flammable vegetation built up over generations has, we now see all too well, transformed landscapes into unmanageable fuel loads igniting with the touch of a single firebrand.
Summer Stories - The Lost Year: 'Flight' by Kim Barnes
We hadn’t yet left the house when the first harbinger hit. It was late May and almost two years since Wife No. 5’s departure (my mother was No. 1 and would have left my father like the other four if she hadn’t had a stroke first). I found him standing at the big picture window, watching for me, I thought, but, when I walked in, he held up his hand. “Western tanager,” he whispered, as though the bird might hear. “They migrate at night.
A trip to the grocery store reminds me why I #LoveTeaching

What ‘Mad Men’ Means to Me
When you’re a writer who lives in the West, and you have a literary agent in Manhattan, it’s easy for certain things to get lost in translation: a three-hour time difference sometimes means that her phone call wakes me at 5:00 a.m., while my interpretation of a 5:00 p.m. by-closing-time deadline is set to my clock, not hers. The last time my agent came to Idaho, I beseeched her to be careful while scaling the razor edge of a precipitous granite point high above the forest floor.
Out Where Everyone Can See
They were close to the lake road, thank the Lord. Six hours in the backseat next to Katie was almost not worth the trip. “Sit back!” her mother said. “Stop breathing down my neck.” “Listen to your mother.” Her father reached back and flicked Katie on the forehead with his finger.
