Stubby’s Company

The Postscript ·

2023/09/03

I don’t think my mother ever expected to have a red squirrel as a pet. I know she resisted for a long time. But Stubby has changed her mind about at least one red squirrel, and I think that is kind of remarkable.

The Last Song

The Postscript ·

2023/09/03

Songs tided me over. They gave voice to feelings that were either too powerful or too painful to experience in silence. Songs grounded me when I felt I might fly away or explode. Songs made sense of things, even if I couldn’t explain in words what I learned from them.

Not Impossible

The Postscript ·

2023/09/03

My cousin Dane is the kind of guy who sits back in a room and listens to everyone trying to solve a problem and, after they’ve exhausted themselves trying to figure something out, he’ll say, “You know, what you might try is…” And whatever he suggests, it will be exactly the right thing to do.

All the Flowers

The Postscript ·

2023/09/03

It turns out that I love flowers far more than I knew. I love the shapes and the colors and the varieties and the seasons. I love how some will take over for a while, commanding attention, and then they fade and something new comes to the fore.

Circumstantial Evidence

The Postscript ·

2023/09/03

My mother reluctantly adopted Stubby after the tragic loss of half his tail last year. He went from her archenemy to her best friend, and now my mother feeds him every day. He has become quite tame and is clearly devoted to my mother and so, naturally, every time I chat with my mom, I ask how Stubby is doing.Apparently, Stubby got into some trouble.

Apple Empanadas

The Postscript ·

2023/09/03

It was midafternoon and not exactly our coffee and pastry hour. (Full disclosure: My husband, Peter, and I didn’t have a coffee and pastry hour, although this soon changed.) We cut one of those apple empanadas in half and tried it. And that was pretty much it.

The Painter

The Postscript ·

2023/08/18

Now he has more commissions and offers to show in galleries than he can accept. People love his work, and so does he. “It freed me, my partner leaving,” he said. “If he hadn’t done that, I would never have gotten to paint!”

Hola Hour

The Postscript ·

2023/08/18

As it turns to night, everyone naturally starts saying, “Buenas noches,” (“Good evening.”) This seems pretty straightforward, but determining when to stop saying “Good afternoon” and start saying “Good evening” is far more complicated than it seems.

Summer Cold

The Postscript ·

2023/08/18

I went to bed early with a stomachache and a cough and a sore throat and the feeling that I must have behaved very badly to get all these things at once

Daddy’s Home

The Postscript ·

2023/08/18

Who can blame these two unseen dogs for losing their little minds once a night—the most exciting time of the day—when Daddy finally gets home?

Marriage Stew

The Postscript ·

2023/07/07

Maybe our marriage is peculiar; I am in no position to say. Maybe every marriage is peculiar in its own way.

The Cigar Box

The Postscript ·

2023/06/30

If I now asked you to guess what was in the box, no matter how many guesses you were given, I’m betting you would be wrong.

Second Sunset

The Postscript ·

2023/06/23

I tell my parents I admire the life they have created for themselves. They have this great cabin, fun friends and neighbors, they bike all summer, ski all winter and, at the end of every day, they get an extra sunset.

Raising the Roof

The Postscript ·

2023/06/16

While I’m certainly not wishing for the roof to fall in on anyone, I’m not sure it’s been such a bad thing.

Blessings in Disguise

The Postscript ·

2023/06/09

My blessings are poorly disguised. They show up wearing false noses and funny eyeglasses and are instantly recognizable unless I am being completely thick-headed—and it is astonishing how often I am.

Good Pear

The Postscript ·

2023/06/02

It turned out I’d been wasting a lot of good pear, but that stopped under Mrs. Johnson’s tutelage.

More Owls

The Postscript ·

2023/05/31

The rent was suspiciously cheap, but the reviews were all good except to say that the house was on a road with stairs. There is a good reason for this: the town predates wheels.

Summer Birthdays

The Postscript ·

2023/05/26

Somewhere near the middle of our vacation, usually just after we’d reached our destination, my birthday would arrive.

An Awful Lot of Cheese

The Postscript ·

2023/05/24

My parents, who buy little tiny blocks of cheese which they cut into little tiny slices and serve on little tiny crackers at precisely five o’clock every evening, were understandably taken aback by the arrival of twenty pounds of cheese.

The Kind of Dog I Am

The Postscript ·

2023/05/19

I imagined I was sort of a golden retriever mix. I was a cool dog, a chill dog. I am actually nothing at all like this.
