My honey and I had a New Year’s trip to celebrate getting hitched. First we went to Prague and had our minds fully blown and beautified. A feast for the eyes, and, later, for the stomach!
Wednesday Missives
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.
Clean start
Quitting smoking, and feeling good.
True love
Marrying my Spaniard, after quite a long time together, means making permanent what had already felt timeless. I love this man!
What a woman
Virginia Culver Snyder, 1941 to 2025. Reporter, friend, irascible aunty. We hope we can someday be as tough as you.
The prettiest place you’ve never heard of
A late summer respite in the Spanish Pyrenees, with biking and bagpipes. It was great to get to someplace cooler and more remote and then to feel like… home?
So familiar, and also entirely new
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.
Wide open Skye
It takes time to arrive at the Isle of Skye, so it makes sense I needed a bit more time to write about the experience. What a trip!
Glasgow on my mind
A lovely trip to Glasgow, complete with Highland coo, networking nerves, gargoyles and wordplay.
What’s your name?
Inside my fevered mind, thinking about my career and my identity, while I figure out what’s next after the gutting of USAID.
