Camping With Coach Strong
This past Sunday, while others were ailing from night-before adventures, Tracy Blue, publisher of The Voice-Tribune, and I were doing a “warm up” of jumping jacks, sprints and push-ups led by members of the University of Louisville football coaching staff.
Josh & Shana Merideth
More often than not, we don’t get to see the man behind the camera. So for this week’s In Tandem, wedding photographer Josh Merideth lets us hold up a figurative lens to his marriage so we could get the full picture of how creativity can co-exist with organization.
Sweet Surrender
After what is sure to be a long month of pre-poolside dieting, my cravings for snacking will no doubt make a comeback, and I’ll head for the sweets. I’m ashamed to admit I’ve scraped off freezer burn just to get a taste of 2-month-old chocolate ice cream (and I know I’m not the only one).
Glacier Run
I could start with the most obvious of clichés for this article – “lions, tigers and bears, oh my!” – or I could take a more direct approach and let you know that the new Glacier Run exhibit at the Louisville Zoo is a must-see for all ages.
Brian & Tracy Merkley
Aside from Brian and Tracy Merkley being an obviously attractive couple, one fact that makes them so much more adorable is that they are high school sweethearts. He was a Trinity basketball player while Tracy cheered for Assumption. Now ain’t that the stuff Louisville is made of.
The Turf Club
With everyone still in recovery mode from Derby weekend, a little hair of the dog is in order. Let’s bring it all back to what got us here and re-live the excitement of the first Saturday in May with the Third Thursday of the month at The Voice-Tribune’s Eat • Play • Live After-Work Party.
Derby Time in Louisville
There’s nothing quite like Derby time. The air is buzzing with energy, and the smell of fresh-cut grass reminds us all why we love living in the Bluegrass State. And for the fastest two minutes in sports, all eyes are on us.
Irv & Cathy Bailey
When Irv Bailey moved to Louisville from Hartford, Conn., in February of 1981, he never dreamed he’d stay this long. When Cathy waltzed into his office 13 years later, he knew he was there for the long haul.
David Son, Rose Collar Foundation
Attorney by day, legend in the making by night, David Son will help bring a new reason to gather this Derby Season as he hosts the inaugural Rose Collar Derby Soiree Thursday, May 5, from 7 p.m. to midnight at Majid’s St. Matthews.
Cave Hill Cemetery
It seemed odd at first when I sat down to do my Out ‘n’ About on Cave Hill Cemetery. With all do respect, I think we can all agree that no one there is necessarily the life of the party. Fast forward to this week, and the loss of a dear friend’s father made this week’s column all the more relevant.
