Thursday Drive

I’m a writer who’s just trying to figure it all out and to write about it well. When my children don’t need food, clean clothes or entertainment, I spend my time on good books, poker, long drives in the mountains, blogging, admiring cowboys from a ladylike distance, and a watching a few TV shows (none of which will ever be as good as The Sopranos). I live with my husband and our two children in Arizona.

I like to keep my readers guessing. One day, I might tell a story about a dad showing up on a Harley to pick his kid up from school (a bit dangerous, yes, but wearing madras plaid and loafers?). But the next day, I might write about the fragile relationships in my family, and the long, tangled history that has shaped all of us.

This blog is named for my weekly drive through the mountains near my home (except in summer, when the kids are out of school). I usually make the drive on Thursday, a date with myself to clear my mind and fill it up again with altogether different things.

Every time, the drive is different in some way than the weeks before, and I hope the landscape of this blog reflects the ways that life changes, too. How I change.

Without fail, I end up farther from where I started than ever.
