Funny, I don't see a pool around here. Or cigarettes for that matter. Adventures along the Mississippi. #widowadventures / #mississippiriver / #roadtrip (at Genoa, Wisconsin)
The mighty Mississippi! Taking the long way from LaCrosse to Milwaukee. 🎶This land is your land, this land is my land.🎶 I love being alone in the car. Back roads. County roads. Stay off the interstate. It's nothing but trucks and people who don't know how to use the passing lane.
"[The modern age] knows nothing about isolation and nothing about silence." - Wallace Stegner. You've got that right, Wallace. This gorgeous vista soothes my soul. There is not another person in sight. The isolation and silence is delicious. #mountainlife / #widowadventures / #colorado (at Jefferson, Colorado)
Sunday Adventures. Part 1. You know that feeling when you just have to get to the sea because it's only a one hour drive--and you go even though it's a grey lousy day because the ocean will make it all worthwhile! Viareggio -- all the Instagram photos are gorgeous and Instagram don't lie. Right? Then you find a GD Carnivale going on which totally blocks your access! Wait a minute -- what are these Italians thinking? Carnivale is for Fat Tuesday! Not every damn Sunday in February! I don't get it but I threw down 15€ (senior rate) and had an adventure. #Viareggio / #carnivale / #widowadventures (at Viareggio, Italy)
Tender Flesh
The weather in Minneapolis has been as expected. Damn cold. Crispy yet slippery snow. Fierce winds. People who don't shovel their walks rendering a hostile running environment. Pretty sure Edna is way more eloquent than I about our frozen tundra. NYC Half-Marathon training tip of the day: Moisturizer your face like your life depended on it. Yesterday, I looked real cool and shiny with Vaseline and moisturizer all over my face. And the neon yellow vest added a certain je ne sais quoit I my ensemble. Must protect the tender flesh because life has been harsh enough and I have the wrinkles to prove it. Edna St . Vincent Millay No hawk hangs over in this air: The urgent snow is everywhere. The wing adroiter than a sail Must lean away from such a gale, Abandoning its straight intent, Or else expose tough ligament And tender flesh to what before Meant dampened feathers, nothing more.
