Weekend Wanderer: How Far Can a Marriage Bend?
There’s a fight in my house. It’s ugly, this fight. Insults slung. Parties insisting an opinion — an opinion — is wrong. Well, yes. I’ve slung insults and denigrated opinions. But it’s because everybody in my house is ridiculous. They say — they say Danish breakfast pastries are better than scones. Lunacy. That’s what that…

Weekend Wanderer: Let’s Take Off Our Pants
I have a best friend. Like any best friend, she has changed my life. Small ways. Big ways. In-between ways. One such change is recent. I’m not sure if it’s positive, but I love it all the same. It’s kind of like the time our other friend convinced me to buy that tight, low-cut shirt…

Weekend Wanderer: The Scourge of Parallel Parking
Can we all agree parallel parking, um, sucks? It’s not that I can’t parallel park. Parallel parking is one of the few skills I will crow about in these pages. See, I went to grad school in North Philadelphia. My university had student parking. Of course it did. What it did not have was capacious…

Weekend Wanderer: I Went to the Outdoor Show
“Do you want to go to the Outdoor Show?” This was my husband, who makes time every February to work a booth at the Great American Outdoor Show. OK. You clicked the link.

Weekend Wanderer: Take the Stairs
I remember, once, a cousin of my husband’s spent a semester studying in Europe. “That’s great!” her dad said when she told him. “Let’s go watch a movie.” It was Taken. I thought of this when my daughter texted from college one autumn evening. She was awarded a study abroad course in London. I had…

Let’s talk about cars. I know nothing about them. So I guess I’ll catch you guys next week. Bye. Yes. My car game is that bad. Worse, I don’t care how little I know about cars. I should care. I wish I cared. But I don’t. When I began driving, Indy showed me how to…

Weekend Wanderer: It’s Up to You, New York
I’m tired of talking about Willie. But probably not as tired as you are of hearing about her. So let’s change the subject. There’s that weird weekend between Christmas and New Year’s. The holidays are over. But they’re not. This year, on that awkward weekend, I sort of went to New York City See, in…

Weekend Wanderer: Memory Care or Assisted Living?
So I walked Willie to memory care, a meandering journey through the independent living building to the joint assisted living/memory care building at the Temple of Doom. And she was … fine. No fight.

Weekend Wanderer: The Trek to Memory Care
So where were we? Oh yes. The Upper Moreland police found Willie standing on the corner of Byberry and Davisville Roads on a blustery night in early December. The police officer took Willie back to the Temple of Doom. That was when he called me. “Is she OK?” I asked. The officer said Willie was…
