Misery in Misurina
We left Santa Cristina on Saturday and negotiated more hairpin turns in Guido Carducci. I wasn’t feeling well. We stopped in Cortina, a relatively large town in the Dolomites favored by the moneyed gentry. Cortina hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics and will do so in 2026 with Milan. The downtown area is full of designer …

Ciao d’Italia
Our next stop on the Canals and Cannolis Tour is Italy. We caught an early flight from Amsterdam to Venice on Tuesday. We rented a car so we could get to the Dolomite Mountains. Here’s this year’s model, an Abarth 595 (souped-up Fiat 500). Miraculously, we fit in all of our luggage with the back …

Dutch Treats
Zaanse Schans is the Dutch equivalent of Colonial Williamsburg. It showcases Dutch heritage and craft from the 16th to 19th centuries. The houses are well maintained. Some people live in these old houses, although some have moved because of tourists invading their privacy. Some of the other buildings showcase crafts such as wooden shoe making …

More Cute Shoes
My friends in the Cult of Cute Shoes anxiously await this post every time I travel. Today’s entries are from the Wooden Shoe Museum and factory at the Zaansche Schans park in the Netherlands. I’m sure we’ll find more beauties in Venice. Hiking boots are considered cute in the Dolomites.

The Canals and Cannolis Tour
Julian and I are back on vacation in Europe. This time our itinerary included visiting his cousins outside Amsterdam. Later we flew to Italy for a week in the Dolomite Mountains and a week in Venice. We have the experience of canals in both the Netherlands and Venice and cannolis (we hope) in Italy. Our …

The Flag Lady
Every neighborhood has its own unique individuals. Our old neighborhood had a block where all the houses had plastic pink flamingoes in the front yard. Our current neighborhood had the Flag Lady. I met The Flag Lady at a city council meeting some years ago. She was a retired social studies teacher who flew a …

Dudley is One Now
Dudley turned one year old on April 3. He’s a devious dude. His latest obsession is the laser printer. (to the left in the picture below). If he hears it turn on, he runs to see what comes out. He’ll sit next to it, even if it’s off, and hope something appears. Here he is …

There Oughta Be a Law
There are several food faux pas that I don’t get riled about. Want to drink red wine with fish? Okay by me. Want to pre-boil your ribs before grilling them? It’s your life. However, there is one thing that should never be done: putting mayonnaise on a pastrami sandwich. I’ve made my opinion on mayonnaise …

Twenty Years in the Northwest
On January 7, 2003, Julian, our two cats, and I caught a flight from Greensboro to Seattle so Julian could start his job at the University of Washington. I don’t remember much about the flight, but I sure remember going through security with Jasper glommed onto me. I still have the divots from his claws …

Santa Claus-trophobia
The snow and ice of the last week meant that we didn’t feel safe driving. I can drive in the winter provided that the yahoos in SUVs stay home; unfortunately, anyone who drives one of these thinks they’re invincible – and winds up in the ditch. We ventured to the grocery store Christmas Eve morning …
