Embassy Tour 2022 — European Union
How often are you able to set foot in five different countries in one day? That’s one reason why folks lined up for the European Union Embassy Tour 2022, which took place on May 14. When you enter an embassy you are technically on that country’s soil. That reality came home when we passed through […]

Embassy Tour in DC, May 2022
Every year the Embassies in Washington DC host an Embassy Tour on a Saturday in May except, of course, for the last two pandemic years — which means there was pent-up demand and excitement. Last Saturday (May 7) was the reception for the non-European countries. Tomorrow (May 14) is the EU’s turn. It rained last […]

Skin in the Game
THE COLD STUNG my skin, even though I’d rubbed a protective layer of balm on my cheeks. Our breath mingled and condensed in a cloud of vapor. Doug and I grabbed hands and ran across the parking lot. He opened the driver’s door, and I scooted across the bench seat as quickly as I could. […]

Choosing a Word for 2022, Happy New Year!
(I just sent this as an email to my subscribers.) I love words. As the old year draws to an end, I choose a word that I hope will have resonance in the year ahead. I used to choose the words myself, but for the last few years I’ve embraced the idea of using a random […]

Managing Relationships with Unvaccinated Family Members
My recent conversation with the stranger on the plane — about abortion and rape — wasn’t the only controversy I navigated during my recent trip. While not everybody chats with strangers, most of us have unvaccinated family members. I bet you’ve encountered something similar to what I’ll describe here. I’d love to hear how you’re […]

Conversation with a Stranger: Abortion After Rape?
I like to converse with strangers, though I’m out of practice after this long pandemic. The other day I discussed abortion after rape with a stranger. I put this account on Facebook and it got a lot of response, so I’ll capture it here as well. On the airplane yesterday, my seat mate was a […]

Writer Without Kitty Cat
Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved kitty, Wrangler. I am once again a writer without a kitty. We adopted her in January 2012 — her name was an homage to the Grand Canyon Mule Trip our family took in late 2011. I have almost always had a lap cat. (I paid tribute to Krystal […]
