Experts tell us to use “active” listening, “I messages,” and open-ended questions. Articles urge us to stop talking when someone speaks, to use our body language effectively to encourage the other guy, and to work to understand what is meant as well as what is said. We’ve been told that men are from Mars and women are from Venus and we’ve been taught how to translate the gender languages. Yet despite all that, developing good listening skills continues to be a challenge for some people. Generally, it’s better to emphasize the positive and teach folks useful skills. But at least some people some of the time find it equally useful to have the negative pointed out and explained. They want guidel...

While the fictional lumberjack isn’t usually known as the most eco-friendly hero, his myths include more than just chopping down forests. Legend has it that Bunyan created the Grand Canyon, the Great Lakes, and Mount Hood.

But on a train, ushering in the dawn is a badge of honor. Most of us in the lounge car at 5:00 in the morning could not sleep in coach or even in the roomette. Our compensation was the dramatic landscape that inspired novelist Willa Cather accented by a deepening pink and coral sky. As we awaited the opening of the dining car – and that first cup of ...

A nearby hiker heard her cries and came to her aid. Mitchell was airlifted to a hospital, but she died the next morning, on October 28. Had she lived, in three weeks Mitchell would have found out whether or not she won a Canadian Folk Music Award. She’d been nominated in the category of Young Performer of the Year. She was 19 years old. Cape Breton officials insisted an attack by coyotes is highly irregular, since they usually shy away from humans….

I was 13 years old, and what struck me most was the depth and breadth of the canyon. For a girl from a Dallas suburb, the moment was literally breathtaking. The canyon is so large that the Colorado River looks like a trickle, as it did to the first explorers. Untrue, we now know. Maybe someday we’ll have the technology to recreate such vistas, but for now the axiom “pictures don’t do it justice” applies to no other place on earth as it does to the Grand Canyon. The iconic El Tovar and other hotels within the park had no vacancies — not sur...

The bus headlights illuminated scrap heaps on both sides of the dirt road. “Mighty pretty country you got here,” I said. The bus driver laughed and said we were looking at the dumping ground for a construction company. Within ten minutes we entered the town of Williams, Arizona, population about 3,000 and location of our home for the night, a bordello turned B&B. The hotel stood right across the railroad tracks, but these days the Southwest Chief sk...
