Weekend Wanderer: I Can’t Sleep
I haven’t slept in days. It started with our security alarm, triggered at one o’clock in the morning. The alarm system texted me — kind of creepy in and of itself — that the breach occurred at my back door. Um, OK. Terrifying. Like, scuba terrifying. Did it help that my horror movie podcast just…

Weekend Wanderer: Ketchup, Hot Dogs, and ‘The Bear’
I’m bingeing The Bear. And I have eyeballs with nerves connected to my brain. So I’m somewhat bewitched by Jeremy Allen White. I can’t even talk about his Calvin Klein ad. Except to say the socks and sneakers at the end are no good. No good at all. A conversation between his character and another…

Weekend Wanderer: Where’s the Music?
So there I was, streaming Moonlighting in all its Bruce Willis glory. There was a scene in Moonlighting that, well — it didn’t change my life. Not exactly. But it holds great significance. Affected me. In one episode, a pre-China Beach Dana Delany hires the Blue Moon Detective Agency. It turns out — oops! —…

Weekend Wanderer: No Turbulence for Me, Thanks
Twenty years ago, I was flying from Denver to Telluride, Colorado. It was a small plane. Buddy Holly planes, I call them. I could see straight into the cockpit. Flight attendants and beverage service would have been laughable on such a minuscule plane. Instead, the pilots conducted the safety briefing. “If you see us screaming,”…

Weekend Wanderer: The Dangers of Nominated Films
I had two days until I left to visit my daughter’s college in Florida. It was time to prepare. As in, time to watch Alligator and Society of the Snow. I don’t know why I do these things. Alligator, I think, is self-explanatory. An oversized alligator terrorizes a Missouri town. Released in 1980, it stars…

Weekend Wanderer: Heavy Is the Head That Watches ‘The Crown’
It’s time to put a period on The Dork Series. Or an apostrophe, am I right, guys? An apostrophe! Ahem. Anyway. I have spent most of the last month taking classes on the Tudor monarchy. One lecture was called — I’m not making this up — “Dressing like a Queen: Elizabeth I’s Wardrobe and Her…

Weekend Wanderer: A New Book and My Secret Passion
I’m calling these last few weeks of columns The Dork Series. Apostrophe love. Bad dancing. If I told you about the history courses I’ve taken recently, you’d probably give me a wedgie and dunk my head in a toilet. So yeah. Let’s make it worse. A year ago, when Burt Bacharach died, I confessed my…
