      Ep. 18: Cabbages and Carrots
      Dec 1 2021

      Cabbages and Carrots: good, clean fun.

      As we take our last journey with Meredith for the season, we accompany her to her friends' home for some good company and, as always, a good meal. She contemplates the journey of age and adventure, reminiscing of her time as a vegetable artist, daisy picker, and cabbage laborer. Did you know that cabbage washes up nicely? What is next for Meredith? Perhaps she’ll tell us the story of her erotic carrots… “but that’s another chapter.”

      Nov 24 2021

      Old Sweaters: gray skies and the warmth of old friends.

      In our penultimate episode of the season, Meredith urges all of us to watch “Amend” a documentary about the 14th amendment, and fills her time by falling in love with Jazz. She moves through Florida to South Carolina and then to North Carolina, visiting her daughter, granddaughter, son-in-law and their noisy dogs. Then, leaving Snowball in Annapolis, thanks to some kind neighbors, Meredith hops on a plane to Seattle, finally heading home after five months away. She thinks of health, and love, and her home community over the past year, how people have shifted in their values. “time left versus time spent. These are the questions we ponder…”

      Quirks and Quiddities: farewell to Ocean Springs.

      Leaving Gautier Mississippi, Meredith heads to a friend’s house spotting quirky signs and t-shirts along the way. When she arrives, they reminisce on old spelling words over carbonara, collards, and crunchy salad. She continues on with Willie Nelson as her traveling companion, heads East past Fortress Mausoleum & Tombs, & contemplates the upkeep of infrastructure. There’s a lot to think about when you drive...
