I did not write this (Gabrielle Blair did), but I could not agree more.  The other day I saw a tweet where a person described that when they find out someone they know personally supports Trump, they lose all respect for them instantly. I liked the tweet and retweeted it, but stopped short of sharing it on Instagram. Why? I suppose it’s because, like the author of the tweet, I also know Trump su...

I have to get on a plane today. My niece is getting married in Salt Lake City tomorrow so I’m off to the airport this afternoon. From the few friends I’ve spoken with, it’s not that bad, the airports are mostly empty. I’ll just bring my masks and hand sanitizer and off I go! I’m excited to see my two brothers and my sister. We haven’t been in the same room together in over a decade so it will be so great to reconnect with them. We have some “then and now” pictures planned and I can’t wait to hea...

Imagine a place so off-the-grid that, if you wanted to make a phone call, you’d have to amble down to a pond, pull a canoe from the muddy bank, row quietly across the surface, and float in the middle of it—oars pulled in—to get enough service. It’s true for Alice Saunders and her boyfriend, Greg Ralich, who bought a bare-bones, no-electricity, no-running -water cabin on a one-acre parcel of land down a class IV road in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, that also turned out to have no cell servi...
