At the Virginia Discovery Museum in Charlottesville, we saw bees doing their bee thing. Their hive was under thick plastic, and a tube ran from the hive to the outdoors. A two-year-old sat next to the tube and pulled and pulled while his mother tried to get him to stop. The plastic tube moved back […]
I’ve always loved a fire, a controlled fire. Fire engages the senses with its scent, its crackle, its heat, its color. My friends evacuated San Diego and made a dash for Arizona during the worst of the recent California wildfires. My father drove past the charred remains of Florida’s tropical flora during the worst of […]

I had a heart-warming moment in LA.
Our last day in CA, we went back to Pasadena to visit Zankou Chicken. O was not hungry and wanted to be stomping, etc. She would barely let me eat, so Bill took her out after he was done. When I was done, I went out to find […]

Mary Biddinger’s book, Prairie Fever, arrived in the mail today. Yay.

I’ve been going over what books to take with me to LA. We’ll take a guide of some kind, of course. Today, I was in the mood to read books about reading or writing, so I picked up Francine Prose’s book on reading like a […]
Vacation is more than getting on a plane and traveling far away. It’s also about mindset. I keep marveling at the past week. I’ve been to Florida dozens of times — even lived there — and yet not until this past week did I feel far away from the daily problems and stresses.
Although I spent […]
Was it just this morning that I was down in Gainesville, FL in the country? In a place where I ate fresh (fresh from a chicken someone actually knows) eggs whipped into fluffy poached eggs? Where each egg looked like a dollop of whipped cream?
Our friends moved into the country. Driving down the sandy lane […]
