  • Traveling in Israel with boys…

    I know I haven’t been here for awhile, and I kept meaning to post, but was tired of posting anymore about running (although I did recently finish my first half marathon, which was momentous), or about divorce, or about living alone.

  • Passport woes, part 2

    I am in England now, writing this, so, all the mad rushing around of last week did result finally in my having a valid passport to travel (2, in fact). I wrote about my crazy hectic Wednesday, when I somehow squeezed in a trip from Baltimore to the center of DC to hand in my…
