WRITES OF PASSAGE: Sight unseen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There were a few hard-fast truths I learned in my first years of marriage. All channel surfing will ultimately land on sports. Long white boxes were more likely to hold Ironman sports watches than pearl necklaces. And, unless I accidentally dye my hair orange, my husband Bill will never notice a new hairstyle. The first two observations speak to who my husband is as a person; the latter, anthropologists attribute ancient gender roles. Think hunters and gatherers. As gatherers, women developed a

We have both moved on to the Saranac Lake retiree mecca: Aldi. Now the time warp appli

For 30 years, our family has been road trippers, not world travelers. While we would occasionally fly, our destinations were always domestic. That changed last spring when we traveled to Europe.
