Moving on and settling down…all at once
T-Minus 19 Days and CountingPosted by beth on February 15, 2010
So…my birthday is in less than three weeks. And it’s not just any birthday. It’s my THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY, and I don’t have any plans. That is either the biggest relief or the most depressing thought ever. On the up-side, I don’t have to bake a million cupcakes or clean my room or take a shower [...]
Dreamy ThoughtsPosted by beth on January 23, 2010
I’ve had some really weird dreams lately, which, you’ll know if you’ve been reading Onward Hoe! for a while, is not at all abnormal for me. I can’t remember what they’ve been exactly. I know a couple of nights ago, I was at some sort of performance camp for all ages. We were all learning [...]
You Can Be A Winner!!Posted by beth on January 8, 2010
Get ready, kids, because I am here today to GIVE STUFF AWAY!! I don’t think I’ve ever really done this before, so I’m pretty excited about it, and if there are any companies out there that would like some free promotion, I’ll give your stuff away too. It makes me feel like a younger, thinner, [...]
Zurich – Washington, D.C.Posted by beth on December 13, 2009
I arrived in Zurich rather late and realized immediately that I’d forgotten that I don’t speak German. Not a bit. I don’t know how to say “train station” or “airport” or “hostel” or “help.” And yet there I was trying to figure out how to get from the airport to the main station so I [...]
Pàpa and Vienna: Yet Another PictorialPosted by beth on October 23, 2009
Well, there actually aren’t any pictures from Pàpa, but just so you know, it’s a small city in western Hungary where student Beth’s brother lives with his family. We went there partially because she wanted me to meet them, but mostly I think because she already had the trip planned before I decided to visit. [...]

Step By StepPosted by beth on September 14, 2009
Well, the hard part of leaving is over. I had my going away party on Saturday night, and it was LOTS of fun. For me at least. I hope it was fun for everyone else as well. At the very least, there was a lot of delicious food, and we played “Beth Trivia,” which involved [...]
How to close a chapter of life: Just make sure everything’s clean.Posted by beth on September 11, 2009
I’ve definitely been busy all day, but when I look back over the past several hours, I can point to exactly two things that have gotten done: article prep and laundry.
The laundry is self-explanatory, and the article prep just means I did a lot of the preliminary internet research necessary to write a bunch of [...]
Putting the “swell” BACK into CaswellPosted by beth on July 20, 2009
Well, friends, I spent all day on Saturday at a Caswell staff reunion, and while there were a bunch of people there from other summers that I didn’t know, I got to see a whole bunch of other people that I hadn’t seen since 1999, and it was fantastic.
As you ought to be aware by [...]
Adolescent Games for AdultsPosted by beth on July 8, 2009
By all logical assumptions, the awkwardness of shady adolescent games like “Truth or Dare” and “Spin the Bottle” would only increase with age. As adults, we would ask even more probing questions, come up with stronger dares and raise the stakes on “Spin the Bottle.” At the very least, we’d add a drinking game aspect [...]
