Epicurean Kentuckian: Glasgow has delicious lobster dishes He suggests a short drive across the Cumberland Parkway to Glasgow's Captain D's as an excellent alternative to driving to Rockland, Maine to sate lobster cravings: Closer by about 1200 miles, 19 hours. And saves a bunch of money. Click on headline for complete critique. By Robert Cumming Personal culinary critique I was born a Pisces in March so naturally ice water(with lemon) is my favorite beverage and any kind of seafood. Living in Kentucky, with so many miles of shoreline across our state, we have an abundance of freshwater fish, aquaculture shrimp, mussels, even mud puppy crawfish. But for those with a taste for the coast like crab and lobster Maine is a long way to go until now.

Remembering Dwight Rich -- he gave it all he had There was a "method to his madness" Colleague remembers a favorite saying Related: Dwight Rich, 54, Adair County, KY (1963-2017) By Lisa Fisher Clark Radio lost a good friend this week with the passing of Dwight Rich. I met Dwight 31 years ago when I began working in Columbia at another radio station. He actually worked part-time at the same station. This past year, I had the pleasure of working with him again, this time at the WAVE. I always looked forward to Friday afternoons because Dwight would hang out with me on the air and we just had fun. When he was not in the studio with me, he'd be in the production room next door. There's a window separating the two rooms, and I'd see his arms flying up in the air and he'd be screaming into the microphone! When he wasn't recording, he'd have the music for his show blaring so loud it would shake the window and the floor! I knew not to read a newscast live while he was recording because he certainly gave it all he had.

Carol Perkins: When it rains . . . (that's how it's been) A crytic message from her brother continued several trying days for columnist, coping with concerns along life's passages. Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: Locked out of the house - and the car By Carol Perkins My brother recently had surgery at the VA Hospital in Lexington, and once he thought he was himself again, he pushed to go home. The problem was he had no one at home to care for him. His children live in California, and he couldn't come with me because I was leaving for a week. I told him he had to stay in an extended care facility. He didn't want to come to my house anyway; he wanted to go to his. He took control behind my back.
