Margaret Cupples
When Natchez native Margaret Cupples graduated from law school at Washington and Lee in 1993, she was offered a year-long position in Jackson with Judge Rhesa Barksdale. After that, she worked at the firm of Lake Tindall, which later merged with Bradley, Arant, Rose and White, where the 37-year-old litigation defense attorney still works. Now, 13 years since her initial arrival in Jackson, Cupples has yet to consider leaving.

Running and blues music don't really go together—that is, unless you're either listening to the blues while running, or you're one of the participants in the Mississippi Blues Marathon and Half Marathon.
Beer: If It Looks Good, Drink It
I've always loved this particular phrase from "Bizarre Foods" host Andrew Zimmern: "If it looks good, eat it."

Plans call for a 100-room, four-story urban boutique-style Hampton Inn with an underground parking garage to be built at the corner of Duling Avenue and Old Canton Road, which is now a vacant grassy lot near Babalu Tacos & Tapas.
Mr. Houston's Merroir
Jesse Houston, Jackson's resident mad scientist chef, is ready to pull a crabbit—yes, crabbit—out of his hat. He's hard at work planning for the opening of his new eatery, an oyster bar and restaurant in Fondren.
Freshman 15?
When I was in college the first time, I was lucky enough to not gain the Freshman 15. In fact I believe I lost weigh, I walked more and ate much less junk. Now that I'm back in school, working on an entirely different degree, working full time and volunteering, I understand how easy it can be to gain weight. I'm learning to find a balance. I'm eating breakfast most days and not eating late in the night, unless it's Friday night at 1 a.m. and Taco Bell is calling my name but that's another story for another day.

Tonight starts the long weekend Labor Day weekend for most of us, with Monday an official federal holiday.

Upcycled Liquor Cabinet
My fiancée, Claire, and I have started acquiring furniture for when we finally get married in a few months. We both really wanted to put a liquor cart on our registry, but all the ones that we liked were far outside of the budget of any of our guests—or our own for that matter. One day, while browsing through Pinterest, which Claire frequently does, she spotted an armoire that was converted to a liquor cabinet. I started searching Craigslist just for fun and got really lucky. I found a slightly beat-up TV cabinet for $75. We picked it up, as well as the supplies, and before long we had a new liquor cabinet! All in all, this project probably cost around $200.
Rising and Converging
"Grace" is one of those words I struggle with. There are the simplistic, surface definitions like charm or loveliness. I tend to find it a complicated word, though, filled with lightness and darkness struggling for domination, with the clouds shrinking if we're lucky. I guess that means I lean more toward it meaning mercy, forgiveness, prayer, clemency, even immunity or reprieve.
Doing Right
