Kish Kish In a Cup
My adopted grandmommy’s daddy used to eat cush-cush. It’s a concoction he would make by crumbling stale cornbread into a tall glass. He would then pour milk over the top of the bread. When it was good and soggy, he would eat it with a spoon. But I’m not talking about cush-cush, I am talking […]

Take Your Time at the National Bison Range
Although I knew the views would be lovely and the Mission’s spectacular, the thought of our annual drive to Moise and the hours and hours of driving around the National Bison Range didn’t thrill me. I hated to think that I was getting cynical about this national treasure, but then I realized it wasn’t the […]
Rainy Day Schedule
You cannot see it in this picture, but it is raining hard outside. But I am not looking at the rain, I am trying to listen to squawking crows while my adopted grandmommy is listening to Comfortably Numb. She plays music WAY TOO LOUD. She’s a boomer and thinks it is cool to listen […]
