Weekend Wanderer: I’m Here to Preserve the Apostrophe
It all started with an article in The Guardian. The headline read “Hampshire villagers bring street’s apostrophe catastrophe to a full stop.” I clicked on that article. Oh yes, I did.

Weekend Wanderer: Will I Ever Be Cool?
I’ve been up to something on Sunday mornings. Besides, you know, bombarding you with words. It began two months ago. But its roots go back to Halloween. Specifically, Shyamaween. As a horror movie fan, I seized the opportunity to be under the same roof as M. Night Shyamalan. Wait. Sorry. I mean I seized the…

Weekend Wanderer: I Tried Cupping
I want to talk to you about cupping. Relax. It’s not a sex thing. I think my editors would shut that down faster than January’s snow melted. And it’s probably time I told you one of my editors is my godfather. Which did not get me this job. As my godfather, he is obligated by…

Weekend Wanderer: The End of Tax Season … for Now
The tax return saga hurtles on. Working with Willie, I was finally — gloriously, spectacularly — able to access her online IRS account. And discovered Willie was, um, right. Wow. That was painful to say. She had — as she told me repeatedly — filed a tax return in 2018. I was thrilled. Not as…

Weekend Wanderer: No, the Taxes Still Aren’t Filed
When we left Willie, she hadn’t filed tax returns since 2017. Willie and I tried — with an utter lack of success — to access Willie’s IRS account online.

Weekend Wanderer: The Ides of January
So I had sorted through Willie’s papers and the most recent tax return I could find was from 2017. The documents I’d located were a patchwork of W2s and 1099s. Social security W2s for both Indy and Willie from 2021? Check. Social security W2s for both Indy and Willie from 2018? Not so much. I…
