  • Our first house was a bungalow with beautiful woodwork and stained glass. It was exceptionally sturdy. The driveway can best be described as an adventure in “narrowness.” Although we have move a lot, we were here for 9 years. (Shorewood, Wisconsin, 1995)

  • First “Real” Place

    Our first 2 homes were in residence halls so this was the first time we had our own place outside of campus. It was a nice enough place, but the walls were thin and we could hear the drama of the couple next door (a lot of drama). (Columbus, Ohio, 1987)

  • The Weather Broke Here

    My friends Michael and Cristan had come to visit me in Iceland. It was a truly Icelandic visit, because the weather was “Icelandic” and my friends were “all in” as we maneuvered in the countryside, with the wind and rain. (Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, 2024)

  • Where Have You Been?

    When we travel, we leave others behind. When we come home, there is sometimes judgement. (Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin 2016)

  • House in Lime Green

    I stumbled on this while out for a walk in Old San Juan in 2002.
