1I Recently Heard About Black Birders Week

I Recently Heard About Black Birders Week

Jan 27, 2021

Earlier this month, at the onset of the 2021, it was cold, gray and icy, but happily, I chanced upon an engrossing radio discussion on “Science Friday” about the joys of bird watching. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/making-outdoors-inclusive/It made me remember that winter won’t last forever and yep, birdwatching is so cool.  The radio guest referred to a group […]

2Heartbreak and Hope

Heartbreak and Hope

Aug 24, 2020

Seeing thousands of folks of all colors and persuasions protesting against racial and judicial inequality is one of the most hopeful expressions of dissent that I’ve witnessed in 50 years. It also attests to the power of imagery. Today’s movement for equality is reminiscent of America in the 1950s and 1960s. In my memoir, “Sugar Hill […]

Books Have Tremendous Power to Teach and Take Us Places

Feb 22, 2020

It’s not readily apparent from my title, but one reason I wrote These Boys Are Killing Me Travels and Travails with Sons Who Take Risks was to praise my sons, Brennan and Colin, for successfully backpacking around the world. Brennan did it in 2001, then Colin left in 2003. Both were in their twenties. I […]

From These Boys Are Killing Me: Safari-ing With My Son in S Africa

Dec 17, 2019

During the two weeks that I joined my son Colin in Africa, we spent two days in Kruger National Park. Upon first arriving, we took a brief evening tour of the park, but the more complete and much anticipated safari tour of the 20,000 sq. km refuge (the size of the Netherlands) began the next morning, at […]

Cuba Part III: March 1919, Legally Entering Cuba–and the Cow Thing

Nov 27, 2019

In March, 1919, 15 years after I slipped into Cuba from Mexico, my husband and I legally sailed there on a six night cruise that included two Cuban cities— Cienfuegos and Havana. Entering legally at the Cienfuegos port wasn’t that different except, this time, I got a stamp in my passport instead of on a […]

Part II: Sneaking into Cuba in 2004 and How $1.00 US Saved My Butt

Nov 13, 2019

In 2004, tourists in Havana were commonly accosted by a local who, to earn extra money, tried to steer them to certain businesses. The guy who zeroed-in on us was Michel, a 24 year-old who did not appear threatening, and promised he wasn’t selling anything. So, we listened to his pitch.  Michel pointed to a […]

Part I: Sneaking Into Cuba in 2004 and How $1.00 US Saved My Butt

Oct 29, 2019

In 2004, when President George W. Bush imposed fines up to $10,000 on Americans caught visiting Cuba, I was dismayed by our continued hardline approach to this neighboring country. I didn’t understand the logic of being allowed to visit Vietnam, where unspeakable atrocities occurred and thousands of American and Vietnamese soldiers and civilians died in […]

When Traveling, Is it Ever Okay to Take Obvious Risks?

Oct 23, 2019

In our everyday life, we take chances all the time. We try a new brand of coffee or buy blue nail polish instead of the red. Some of us quit 9-5 jobs to start your own businesses. Others bring home the boy or girlfriend our parents will disapprove of, because he or she is the […]
