THE ROCKWOOD FILES: Behind the cabinet door - Kirksville Daily Express (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was our third or fourth date when I invited Tom to my not-so-glamorous rented condo. He had already cooked dinner for me, so I reciprocated with an invitation to my place. But I’m not a great cook, so it was a risky move. The relationship was in its earliest stages, and I wasn’t ready for him to know that I mostly lived on Cap’n Crunch cereal, cans of Coke, and Pizza Hut delivery. Tom was five years older than me, and I wanted to look like I had a grown-up life and knew how to do fancy things
THE ROCKWOOD FILES: I need to speak to the manager - Kirksville Daily Express (opens the original)

Normally, I wouldn’t question a single thing you do. I’m a big fan of your work. Starry skies? Awe-inspiring. Tropical waterfalls? Lovely. Trees of every shape and size? I’m a huge fan. Always have been. But can we talk about the thermostat? I gritted my teeth every day last month because it’s silly to complain about the heat during August. But we’re 10 days into September now. Ten days! Did you forget to flip the page over on your wall calendar? Why does it still feel like we’re living on the s
THE ROCKWOOD FILES: “A dozen moving days” - Kirksville Daily Express (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At our house, back-to-school looks like Moving Day. We’ve evolved from cute lunchboxes to U-Haul trailers. By my count, we’ve moved a kid to a dorm or apartment 12 times over the past seven years, all during the sweltering month of August. Thankfully, those moves paid off because two of our three kids have now graduated from college and joined the working world. This year we’re only moving our youngest kid back to campus to finish her last two years. I say the same five words to each of my adult
THE ROCKWOOD FILES: Bacon tomato bliss - Kirksville Daily Express (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We got the first batch of them last weekend, and they were perfect. Red, round and luscious. Lined up in a shallow, plastic crate, they’d been placed on a sheet of old newspaper, and my mouth watered at the sight of them. “Oh! Where did you get them?” I asked my mother, who brought them home after work one day. She told me the answer, but honestly, I wasn’t listening. My mind was racing ahead to the other supplies we’d need: mayonnaise, bread and bacon. My salty summer beloved has finally return
THE ROCKWOOD FILES: Oh deer - Kirksville Daily Express (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I had a 30-minute window of sunlight near the end of a rare, 76-degree day in late June, and I didn’t want to miss it. So I grabbed Mac’s harness and asked if he wanted to go for a walk. He did. We could’ve headed for a nearby walking trail, but instead I walked our neighborhood and then a nearby circular drive nestled into a small pocket of domesticated woodlands. Mac and I had walked and sniffed three, maybe four loops around the circle when I saw something move in the corner of my eye. When I
