You can’t get up quietly in a house like this. The floors creak and the old iron door hinges yip like Hitchcock violins.
Month: July 2020
Sweet Corn and Sushi
Visited the liquor aisles of the Midwestern supermarkets, the best liquor aisles in the world. They go on for about 300 yards.
My hometown
Never undervalue the high-pitched squeals of a very happy mother.
Rushmore is Perfect
We stopped by Mt. Rushmore for a peek. Gotta say, Jefferson’s nose looks a little big.
Wide-Open Spaces
We are seeing these wide-open spaces of the American West, appreciating the majesty of the landscape, “a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture."
Road trip diary
The Tetons were great. As I told Smartacus, they don’t call them Grand for nothing. These weren’t just any old Tetons, I can assure you that.
Revved for a Road Trip
We’re hitting the road now because daily routine has reached our bones, and we’re feeling cranky and isolated.
Amazon Sub-Prime
Always fancied driving a nice van like that. If Amazon Prime ever starts delivering jokes, I’m their man.
All Fired Up
Disrespect solves nothing. It’s why the shortstop punches the second baseman, why schnauzers snap at collies.
Top that, Smartacus
My son Smartacus and I still haven't figured out “what now?” After "The Wedding," a long summer awaits. Blueberry pie, anyone?
