Airport closed, no ride
home ’til dawn, she waits under
a tree in the rain.

Arcata airport

So small, it’s got one
airline. Flight almost cancelled,
nearly stranding her.

Brief holiday visit

Once her nest, now a

Abandoned blog

Held back by your tight

San Diego

Shivering at the
airport. Colder than O’Hare.
Turn back, refund flight.

Loser

You still up? Dude, it’s

be there tomorrow.

Up all night

I would like to see
4 am start off my day
instead of end it.

Mommy friendships

If all we have in

an enduring match.

Rose Parade

Flower covered floats
in a warm SoCal city
I’ll never visit.

Fiscal cliff

Cost to average
household: Five thousand. Voting
the bums out: Priceless.
