Did you know that luxury watches have become much more than instruments for telling time? I’ve always found it fascinating that something created for such a practical purpose could evolve into a form of self-expression, a symbol of status, and, in some cases, even a piece of history.

Rome is one of those cities that can feel almost too familiar before you arrive. The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon and Vatican have been photographed so many times that it is easy to wonder what could possibly be left to discover. Quite a lot, actually.

Whether a breach is considered material under Florida law depends on the language of the contract and the circumstances surrounding the dispute. Courts generally look at whether one party failed to perform an obligation that was fundamental to the agreement rather than a minor contractual requirement. Every contract is different, so the analysis is rarely as simple as identifying a missed deadline or an isolated mistake. Material terms often relate to payment, delivery, perfo

There are few universal pleasures quite like sharing a good glass of wine. It brings people together, slows the moment down, and turns an ordinary evening into something worth savoring.

Puglia is not a destination I would recommend rushing through. The region rewards a slower approach, where a morning drive through olive groves can be as enjoyable as arriving at a famous town, and a long lunch can easily become the centerpiece of the day.

For several months during the summer of 2022, my dog Scout vomited at 3 a.m. nearly every day. If you have a dog, you know the sound. And each time, she gobbled up her mess before I could get to it, making diagnosis of the cause difficult.The vet and I eventually settled on my hydrangeas as the source of the problem – but keeping Scout away from them didn’t work. She started to seem tired all the time – highly concerning in a typically hyper yellow Lab puppy. Photo by Sander
