One Hubcap ‘Cause Three Got Stolen

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Meg

I remember driving alone from Vermont back to Western Mass a few months after I’d started driving, and feeling like the trip was an object lesson in gorgeous road metaphors. The curves in the mountain roads, blind corners, broad views down the mountain, … Continue reading →

More Than A Feeling

Posted on June 27, 2010 by Meg

I’m visiting my awesome sister in Boston now. We had a salon last night where she played me some songs she’s working on and I read her my latest story. In a lot of ways, New England is home to … Continue reading →

Posted on July 31, 2009 by Meg

Ex-Expat Thoughts

Posted on June 5, 2009 by Meg
