“If there’s turbulence, I will have a panic attack in the air,” Darko told me with a trembling stare. “I asked them and they told me that I can get a refund. I will take the bus.” I set down the proof of my book I was copy editing and put my hand on Darko’s…
I think we’re going about arriving at the Harvest Music Festival on Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas in an ideal way. Originally we had planned to spread the 24-hour drive across three days, stopping off in cities where friend’s company and open ended offers to crash on their couches greeted us. A few days before…
If I were the queen of the nest of hornets that lives in my parents’ roof, I would have sent the wasps all at once. I think they would have had better odds, whatever their plan. As it was, the wasps came today one at a kamikaze time, flying into the open window to a…
