BACK IN THE SADDLE

Meant to be a hobo

Maybe I was meant to be a hobo.

Sparkle in the world of politics

Last week’s election got me thinking about Sparkle Crowe.

Celebration is always enriching

Sometimes it was at our house, sometimes it was at Stu and Martha’s, sometimes it was in the fellowship hall of a Presbyterian church in Richmond, and once — memorably — it was in Uncle Jim Luginbill’s immaculately cleaned garage.

Job was a little fishy

Whose idea was this anyway?

It was a Christmas tradition

It was a Christmas ritual.

Model is a reminder of visit

Why is there a Lamborghini on the shelf above the refrigerator? Because we’re still picking up after Thanksgiving.

'Hunters' brings back memories

Maybe I watch too much HGTV.

Hike of a lifetime

It could be the hike of a lifetime.

Music for the road

If you have trouble finding me these days, chances are I’m somewhere on county road 400 South.

The past in music

The lyrics coming from the other room weren’t exactly the sort of stuff that flowed from Shakespeare’s pen.

Squirrels are ungrateful

When did the squirrels turn against me?

Longing for the new scarf

That clicking you hear in the background is my wife’s knitting needles.

Caution: Column is contagious?

Maybe this column should be sprayed with Lysol before reading any further.

Back to school

At least the professor can’t call on me.

Geographic memories

Sometimes it seems as if I have a whole, separate geography stuck in my memory: Places that used to be but now have disappeared, existing only as ghosts.
