The Garbage Parfait
July 14, 2008
There is no municipal trash pickup in Belle, Vermont. We have to make arrangements with the haulers themselves. One won't return my calls. (Fine
Well, THAT Was Unexpected
May
The pest control guy spent eleven minutes telling me about his divorce. (Well, maybe nine minutes: I got to tell him the reason for my call.) I'm used to my mechanic talking about his anxiety problems, but don't really know the pest guy. That is, I didn't. I do now:… Read full post »
A Year in Vermont - Late Jan - Mid Feb (Part I)
Sam was the last of my grandparents to die—conveniently, before I turned forty. He left most of his fortune to his household help (who, I figure, deserved it) and a little to my mom. That first year, she took us to France for my birthday. The next year, my…

"Did You Miss Me?"
"Did you miss me?"
I've started to say this to my earthy neighbor. It's one of those cutesy, adult affectations. I didn't give it enough thought. I called from across the street, "Did you miss me?"
September 1
Generally, I dislike summer. A lot*. So, September 1, traditionally, was my favorite day. (Well, actually, my favorite was the day I'd see the "9/1" sell-by date on milk cartons; always gave me hope.) No more. In fact, it has become one of my most-hated days of the year. Around here,… Read full post »
Adventure on the Highway
If I didn't lean toward atheism, I'd say Gcd had been feeling mischievous. D's ailing aunt B., for whom I'd been saying prayers* took a turn for the worse. Fellow Freelance Success member Joyce Megginson Kircher, also on my prayer list, died. During my mother and stepfather's visit, my… Read full post »

Vermont
Look down the road, forward, then back: No other cars in either
direction, just for a moment. At the top of a hill--and it's all
hills--you take your foot off the gas and the brake, and the car
rockets down the pavement like a pinball.
