    Weekend Wanderer: I Tried Cupping

    I want to talk to you about cupping. Relax. It’s not a sex thing. I think my editors would shut that down faster than January’s snow melted.  And it’s probably time I told you one of my editors is my godfather. Which did not get me this job.  As my godfather, he is obligated by…

    Weekend Wanderer: The End of Tax Season … for Now

    The tax return saga hurtles on.  Working with Willie, I was finally — gloriously, spectacularly — able to access her online IRS account.  And discovered Willie was, um, right.  Wow. That was painful to say.  She had — as she told me repeatedly — filed a tax return in 2018.  I was thrilled. Not as…

    Weekend Wanderer: No, the Taxes Still Aren’t Filed

    When we left Willie, she hadn’t filed tax returns since 2017.  Willie and I tried — with an utter lack of success — to access Willie’s IRS account online.  In an article from The Washington Post, an elder law attorney explained that accessing financial accounts of elderly parents is a federal crime unless you have…

    Weekend Wanderer: The Ides of January

    So I had sorted through Willie’s papers and the most recent tax return I could find was from 2017.  The documents I’d located were a patchwork of W2s and 1099s.   Social security W2s for both Indy and Willie from 2021? Check. Social security W2s for both Indy and Willie from 2018?  Not so much.  I…

    Weekend Wanderer: Tax Season Has Turned into Tax Year

    Willie — oh, Willie.  Willie hasn’t filed a tax return.  In years.  And I’m not going to lie. I started this whole thing with good intentions but now I’m kind of hoping Willie goes to jail.  January 2023 morphed into April 2023 and still Willie hadn’t made an appointment with her accountant.  So I made…

    Weekend Wanderer: Hooked on Hallmark Christmas Movies

    I’m a snob.  I thought Hallmark Christmas movies were, well, inferior.   Not byzantine, like Game of Thrones. Or witty like The West Wing. I was wrong.   Hallmark movies are like soap operas — except happy.  And I only stopped watching soaps because All My Children and One Life to Live were canceled.   I mean, did…

    I have a complaint.  Grave blankets are not blankets.  And I’m — I’m kind of annoyed they’re not blankets.   I know, I know. It’s an odd thing to get worked up over. But I thought grave blankets were blankets and they’re not blankets and I want them to be blankets.  See, for years, Indy and…
