Our guests will range in age from toddlers to older adults. Some of the seniors suffer from physical problems and memory impairments, which makes proper planning imperative. I think you wrote on this topic before, but I lost the column and need some suggestions again. — Hoping for Happy Holidays http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/31/10312009wacBrazosPast.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/31/10312009wacBrazosPast.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT What’s that creeping around the corner? Why, it’s Halloween, season of spectral shenanigans and haunted hijinks. Tonight, little boos and ghouls will stalk the streets in the form of trick-or-treaters. http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/31/10312009wacstargazer.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/31/10312009wacstargazer.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT Being the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s first astronomical use of the telescope, 2009 is being celebrated as the International Year of Astronomy. As such, it’s not surprising to see new books and articles on the subject. One book that has come to my attention is Galileo’s New Universe by astronomers Stephen P. Maran and Laurence A. Marschall (Benbella Books, Dallas, 2009). At 174 pages and $14.95, it’s an easy and inexpensive read that I highly recommend. http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/24/10242009wacbrazospast.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/24/10242009wacbrazospast.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT The 100th anniversary of the first Baylor Homecoming is getting the star treatment from two campus institutions, as both the Mayborn Museum and the Texas Collection at Baylor University salute what some believe to be the nation’s oldest such collegiate celebration. http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/24/10242009waclecrone.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/24/10242009waclecrone.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 24 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT Dear Dr. LeCrone: I have been asked to move from part-time to full-time with a start-up technology firm as a junior partner, but have some reservations about saying yes. The three senior partners are all very intelligent, charming and enthusiastic, but along with their good points, they all seem to be extremely self-centered and “full of themselves.” My husband has been around them on several occasions and says that he believes they are all narcissistic megalomaniacs. Please tell me about narcissistic people. — A reader trying to avoid a disaster http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/17/TJRbrazospast1017.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/17/TJRbrazospast1017.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT The descendants of the immigrant founders of St. John’s United Church of Christ and their friends will gather Sunday to commemorate 125 years in Central Texas and its legacy as “the church at the rise in the road.” http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/17/10172009waclecrone.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/17/10172009waclecrone.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT Dear Dr. LeCrone: A few years ago, I attended a presentation you made titled “10 Good Stress Busters” that was on a card that you gave to me. I am under a lot of stress now and need a refresher from you. — A Stressed-Out Reader http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/17/10172009wacstargazer.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2009/10/17/10172009wacstargazer.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=4 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT There are many things I like about stargazing, not the least of which is the unfathomable beauty and wonder found in the night sky. I especially appreciate how this can be enjoyed at many levels.
