As I’ve moved eastward, I’ve become more suburban. Though I still consider myself a city girl, loving the amenities of urban life, I do admit the suburbs have some benefits, especially when kids are in the picture. Today I came across a blog dedicated to researching and writing about smart transit. It got me thinking [...]

Remembering the Caucus
In two days, the Iowa caucuses will convene once more. This time around, voters will come together to stand for their choice in the Republican presidential primary contest and I will remember the thrill of caucusing for my first and only time on a chilly January evening in Des Moines four years ago. I wrote [...]

The touch, the feel of newspaper
A few years after graduating college, as newspapers were coming to grips with having an online presence, and I found myself as a newspaper reporter wondering about the future of print journalism, a copy editor friend of mine said she will never stop reading newspapers in their paper form. She loved the feel of holding [...]

My immediate reaction was, of course I’ll take the twins down there to see what it’s all about. But this was before the movement [...]

Occupy Detroit
The more I visit Detroit, now that I’m living in northwest Ohio, the more I fall in love with it. It would take pages for me to explain the details of what I see when I visit, but in a nutshell Detroit tells me the story of humanity born and gone and trying to be [...]

Update on the Cats
Thanks to everyone who shared their advice and comments and voted in the poll about our newest members of the family–our two cats. The bolder one of the two has been spotted at night and during quiet times of the day (when the children are not around) exploring the house, eating food and hiding under [...]

The Cat Conundrum
Yesterday we adopted two cats. They’re brothers, and they’re four years old. But now we can’t find them. Once they were let out of their cat carriers from their old owners, they bolted. We haven’t seen them in almost a day. This was to be expected. Cats–especially these cats who have never explored the outdoors [...]

The New Normal
Life in Ohio is returning normal, though what is normal is still being defined. The kids are in school, I am not working at an 8-5 job, my husband is on the crazy roller coaster that is residency, and I am figuring out what this new normal is for me. Having time to think, to [...]
