Family

Back to Alaska

Back to Alaska – as long as a sibling or two calls it home, I’ll be enjoying the breathtaking views and remoteness of the Last Frontier.

True love

Dec 10, 2025

Marrying my Spaniard, after quite a long time together, means making permanent what had already felt timeless. I love this man!

What a woman

Nov 20, 2025

Virginia Culver Snyder, 1941 to 2025. Reporter, friend, irascible aunty. We hope we can someday be as tough as you.

So familiar, and also entirely new

Sep 3, 2025

I felt at home in Edinburgh – one branch of my family tree in vivid color. Also whisky, walking, and history, dolloped with some Harry Potter flashbacks.

Mexico City paradise

Dec 20, 2024

The Culventure continues in Mexico City. A fantastic place full of wonders, history, and more tacos.

Wet Week on the Riviera Maya

Dec 17, 2024

Cenotes, mangroves, and using your life jacket like a diaper. A family adventure to Tulum, Mexico goes wonderfully right.

Missing Miss Raya Buckets

Jul 30, 2024

Miss Raya Buckets stepped over the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year, where the can opener is always spinning. I sure miss her!

Napoli, Nuova

Sep 25, 2023

We’re just getting settled into Napoli and finding our way around these enormous hills! So far, so very good, including standard-setting pizza.

A celebration of Dad

Jul 1, 2023

Our eulogy titled “All the ways Dad failed us” was written with the intent to laugh, not cry, and I almost made it to the end without shedding a tear. Miss you, Dad.
