Welcome to the first installment of The Month. What’s The Month, you ask. It’s a round-table discussion (read: GChat) in which the other Well Spent writers and I talk about our most favorite and least favorite things that happened in the last 30 days (basically, we all got tired of looking for links every week…

The Month

Nearly half a century after they performed together for the last time, the legend of The Beatles continues to grow, elevating those four mop-topped chaps from Liverpool from mere musicians to immortals.

To say that Jim Henson was just a puppeteer would be a colossal understatement. While Henson developed a veritable army of stuffed characters across his five year career, what he truly created, beyond the slew of television programs and personalities, was joy. Few, if any people, have ever spurred more unfettered bliss in their audience…

I’ve known Winter Session co-founders Roy Katz and Tanya Fleisher for a few years now; we all buddied up back in Chicago, before making our respective exoduses (them to their home-state of Colorado, me to my home-state of NY). Over that time, I’ve watched their brand evolve from a small side project, to one of…

Photos of Edward Abbey during his mid-century heyday reveal a man who could easily be deemed a caricature of the average environmentalist. But, there’s nothing ironic about Abbey’s style. Few outdoors men lived their ideals as intensely as Abbey. As a part time Park Ranger, part time writer, and full time radical, Abbey was a…
