A Dictionary of Golf's Colorful Vernacular
There are things they don't teach you in golf school. You may come away knowing how to play a reasonable game of golf, but if someone said to you that he was snake bit ever since his beagle, would you have a clue what he was talking about? There is a secret language of golf that goes far beyond par and birdie. How much of it do you actually know?... On the 18th tee, Jimbo decided to let the big dog eat. Feeling the pressure, he foozled and hit a wormburner into the mahoofka. His mulligan turned into a culligan when he launched a lateral into the drink. The rest of the hole was all military golf. On his approach, he chili-dipped and landed on the beach, where he found himself facing Yasir Arafat. Jimbo grabbed his spatula and escaped from the cat box and onto the froghair, only to fall prey to a case of the yips. Jimbo ended up carding a snowman by the time he left the dance floor. His buddies went straight to emergency room, but Jimbo got back in the BIPmobile and headed for murderer's row...

With the marriage of The Wizard of Oz's most beloved song and the iridescent paintings of one of America's most beloved artists, comes Mary Tiegreen's beautifully designed Over the Rainbow, the fifth installment in Welcome's fabulous Art &amp; Poetry series. Very few songs have taken hold of our hearts and imaginations the way "Over the Rainbow" has, stirring up wistfulness and a longing to be free. These lyrics, so evocative of light and color, have found thier perfect match in the paintings of Maxfied Parrish. These paintings seem to generate a light of their own, reflecting off the words on each page, and the result is a feeling of warmth and exuberance, and a sense that dreams "really do come true."

The family dinner is the one moment during the day when we sit down together to enjoy a good meal, engage in lively conversation, and, too often, experience mass hysteria. The family table is also a place where we gather in times of celebration and sadness, to embrace food and each other. “The table is a place of communion for life’s large and small events,” writes master chef Art Smith. And all of us have experienced the enlightenment of the holiday meal. “You think you have a handle on God, the Universe, and the Great White Light until you go home for Thanksgiving,” says Shirley MacLaine. “In an hour, you realize how far you’ve got to go and who is the real turkey.” In The Family Dinner, authors Linda Sunshine and Mary Tiegreen celebrate this phenomenon of family life with photographs and written excerpts from a wide spectrum of families—rich and poor, immigrant and suburban, gourmet and kitchen-challenged. With love, grace, and a big dollop of humor, the authors remind us that family dinners, however defined or indigestible, exemplify who we are and where we came from. “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one,” says Jane Howard. So here is the perfect gift book for anyone who cooks for you or eats with you, and for all of us who gather together around a table.

“There are many families where the whole interest in life is centered upon the dog,” wrote Jerome K. Jerome in 1889, and any devoted dog person would agree that the same is true today. There’s a tale behind every family dog. The Family Dog celebrates the oft-told stories of love and devotion, of astonishing daring or colossal mishap, recounted by an eclectic group of writers, including E. B. White, James Thurber, Dave Barry, Jack London, Caroline Knapp, and David Sedaris. Here are stories about the Airedale who bit, well, almost everyone; the collie who traveled fourteen miles over frozen pastures to reunite with his family; the poodle with the bluest eyes; the Great Dane who had business to do; the pug who ate three socks and a T-shirt in one sitting; the boxer who only answered to one name: Food; and the dachshund who even disobeyed when asked to do something he wanted to do. Illustrated with stunning black-and-white photographs from many diverse sources, this book confirms that, quite often, the most popular family member is the one with four legs.
