Weekend Wanderer: Another Christmas to Remember
Around my house, the holidays tend to involve some Black Christmas-level drama. Indy went to Marion’s bar in Nepal six days before Christmas, two years ago. Let me tell you something. Nothing puts you in the Christmas spirit like planning a funeral. You know, the funeral home was decorated for Christmas. That was weird. People…

Weekend Wanderer: The Taxes Are Done
Thanksgiving is close. Close enough to taste creamy mashed potatoes. Thick gravy. That uncle’s dripping sarcasm. Please. Everybody has that uncle. I’m sharing what I’m grateful for. Willie’s taxes are done. And it only took 19 months. Nineteen months of looking for five years’ worth of tax documents. Nineteen months of calling government agencies. Nineteen…

I’m going to tell you — warn you? — right now. This story is a two-parter. So much happened in October. I mean, yes, you’re right. Not as much as happened in December of that awful, awful year. And certainly nothing as bad. But it was still quite the October. Since we’re doing a two-parter…

Weekend Wanderer: Oh, My Aching … Everything
I’m playing hurt. You’ll recall that time I tripped over my son, spraining both wrists, bruising both knees, and tearing my jeans. Those bruises on my knees lasted 14 months. Fourteen. I’ve had boyfriends for less time than those bruises. And the sprained wrists bought me six weeks of physical therapy. Again with the boyfriends. …

By the time you read this, I’ll be at the cabin. The cabin was once a routine destination for me. But life happens and now it’s been a year since I graced its cozy innards. Wait. Did I just say that? Cozy? Huh. Maybe absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Oddly enough, I…

Weekend Wanderer: You’re Camping Where?
I couldn’t tell you the entire story behind our houseguests. Until now. See, I didn’t want you to know I’ve been alone since they left. I — I didn’t want to get murdered. Stop.

To begin with, the guys stayed at our house for all of six hours. That’s not hyperbole. They arrived at nine in the evening, ate dinner, and hit…

Weekend Wanderer: Houseguests Make Me Frantic
When my husband started hunting, I mean, really leaned into it — target in the backyard, arrow holes in the shed wall, multiple game freezers in the garage — he joined an organization.
