I. Where’s Waldo in this picture? Not the point. But mystery photos here, for now, abound. It couldn’t be that Wolfie blew this joint! But where on Earth might little Wolf be found? Right here right now as always, I will say. My keyboard and my cell phone are not far. You know I dreamed […]
Wishing You Were Here
Exotic destination? Virtual vacation? Ever feel like you need to get away from it all – somehow? I suspect I could send my own postcard from the edge right now. Perhaps from a gorgeous beach on an exotic isle. From a small cabin shaded by old trees. (But not so remote that I’m deprived of […]

Paris, 9 days, $1300. Dreams of travels to come. At least – the energy to dream.

Silence is Golden, Sort Of
No need to dress. No need to drive. No need to cook – heating a frozen dinner in the microwave was just fine. And not one word. No need to speak at all, for 36 hours. Bliss. Yesterday was my first day off in two months. No parenting, no worrying, no checking a clock or […]

Rain is streaming down the window panes. Less so than last night, but the morning sky remains an angry, bloated charcoal. The house sleeps, though I am awake. “It’s Saturday,” I remind myself, taking a deep breath. “I can do nothing.” I sip my coffee. I listen to the quiet. I type an email to […]
