The hubs is back on the book tour circuit, which means a lot of visits to bookstores. Much as I love a good Barnes and Noble and much as I lament the loss of Brentano’s (as my son laments the … Continue reading
Historic Marker Day
When I was a kid, my parents insisted we were too poor to fly anywhere, so we took a lot of road trips. Mostly, we went from California to Illinois and back to visit family. I don’t remember a lot … Continue reading

Husband Appreciation Day
