G(R)ASPING AT MEMORIES
Change. Exciting. Terrifying. Distressing. Unavoidable. If you haven’t met Sierra, then let me tell you that we have perhaps the sweetest yellow lab on the planet. She came to us through a rescue organization, and has seemed grateful to us ever since. With this little girl, we never needed the electric fence; she wasn’t leaving our sides. She never barks ...

NOT-SO-GOOD LEGS
Our requisite “buenos días” as we pass locals on our Camino landed us in quite a conversation this morning. We were in Arcade, seven kilometers into our 18 kilometer day. She was headed uphill, maybe 80 years old, with a cane for support. She was well below five feet tall, spritely for one with a cane, with lively eyes. She stopped ... Read More » -

GUILTY PLEASURES
I recently discovered cookie butter from Trader Joe’s. That’s right. Cookie butter. They suggest it being delicious on a number of things (hello waffles!) but I find that it’s fabulous off a spoon while standing in-front of the fridge at 2 a.m. Fortunately, my roommate doesn’t like it, thus leaving more for me. On closer examination of that previous sentence (and ... Read More » -
