Isle Royale, Part 4

July 23, 2013 By Gail

The Writing On The Wall “Phil’s an A-hole,” was one of the first inked-on-the-wall sentiments I noted as I hung our camping supplies in the shelter on Isle Royale.  “Hey Lover,” I said, “Did you know Phil is an A-hole?”  My husband, confused, said, “Who’s Phil?”  He’s charmingly rational like that.

July 1, 2013 By Gail

I was having a “feeling frumpy” day.  My hair kept heading off in directions known only to ancient gods and winged animals, my Spanx groaned as I pulled them up and made a snarky comment about “only being able to do so much,” and my freshly painted fingernails, barely dry, hosted multiple dings, smears, and chips.  (Life lesson #76: Don’t… Read More
