I called my Father this weekend and learned that last Thursday he lost his drivers license. Not that it was a big surprise—one could see it coming: after multiple eye surgeries, not one of which restored his ability to read books, never mind drive, it was probably somewhat anticlimactic at the drivers’ license office when […] When I was a kid, many summers I went with my father from Denver, across the country to New York These trips were by car: Up Interstate 76 to Nebraska, where we joined I-80 going east through Lincoln, Omaha, Des Moines, the southern edge of Chicago, across northern Indiana and Ohio until Cleveland where we […] I passed through your Kleine Dorf on Sunday. I hope never to do so again. You see, I was returning home from a fine day: I’d traveled from my home in Weimar up to Drei-Annen-Hohne.

After CQ and I drove from Swaziland to South Africa along that dirt road, we realized that our white pale red car was in dire need of a car wash. It was a shadow of […] Swaziland was quite the adventure for CQ and me.
