That depends.That depends on what you’re willing to eat. I have a gluten allergy and being obsessed with nutrition is sort of my second secret calling in life, so I work really hard to eat super hippy food even when I’m sleeping in a vacant lot or getting rained on on a freight train. That … Continue reading A reader writes: How much does it cost to travel the way you do?

Turducken
Friends- I have for you another rhyming, fantastical tale, written several years ago in the fall, back in the murky era before this blog- a sort of land before time, made up of dog-eared warm xeroxed pages and a large funnel that went straight from my wallet-pocket into the copy machines at kinko's. An old … Continue reading Turducken

Greta Garbo, Freest Cat There Ever Was
On Monday I left my job in the woods, drove two hours, and got a new job at a hot-springs resort on the other side of the mountain. I showed up and parked my car in the dusty lot, looked at the trees around me. It was drier here. I'd never been to this place, … Continue reading Greta Garbo, Freest Cat There Ever Was
Tall Men With Beards
In an email to a friend-I had a dream last night that I had a straight boyfriend, and he was tall and bearded and I liked him very, very much. He wasn't much of a talker and he smelled like an old plaid sleeping bag, the kind that zips down the side and folds into … Continue reading Tall Men With Beards
