“But how will they learn calculus?” I heard that question repeatedly when we started on our homeschooling journey. It was a pre-corona world, where advanced mastery of math and sciences, expansive extra-curricular involvement and stellar test scores were the necessary recipe for the necessary acceptance at that necessary university, which was supposed to unveil the […]
The Unwanted Cake
I’m standing at the kitchen sink, trying to rinse cake frosting from my freshly washed hair, when I realize I have a choice. It all started with Bob’s birthday two days ago. “I don’t want ANYTHING,” he told me a few days earlier. His birthday feels like the first true spring day we’ve had this […]
Episode 12: When, Where & How
Mise-en-place. It’s French for put in place. And it’s the Golden Rule for running a restaurant. It defines when things happen, how they happen, and precisely where. At 4 am Saturday morning, I turn on the proofing ovens. At 4:01 I lay the croissants out on trays. At 4:07 I put water on to boil. […]

This Marriage
It’s 3am when his hand finds mine beneath the covers. He winds his fingers around mine, then pulls me close, wrapping his arms fully around me. We stay there a long time before he whimpers, “you had an affair.” I launch from the bed with a mighty “HA! You had it coming!!! You SSSSOOOOOOO had […]
Market Family
Never be late. It’s dangerous and costly. Don’t drive fast on the way down. There are speed traps on Route 30. Learn how to grill steaks, pork chops and lamb chops in three steps. Memorize this process. I’ve got 18 items on the list so far. When I step away from the computer, Bob takes […]
