Tips for Week of April 29, 2004

THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK:

• According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, teens who ate dinner five to seven times a week with their families were 45% LESS LIKELY to try alcohol, 24% LESS APT to smoke marijuana and 67% MORE LIKELY to get A's compared with kids who never or rarely dined with their families. 

• C. T. Garvin Feed & Seed (corner of Holmes & Pulaski Pike) is a wonderful old-fashioned store, selling bulk garden seeds, a variety of dog & wild bird supplies, windsocks, plants, and even gourmet chocolate! 

• Andrew Willmon of Broadway Theatre League gave me these hints for next season: "No one dies! All the shows will be lighthearted & fun. Four of the six shows have never been to Huntsville before." Season announced June 1st.
