A probate judge had no authority to continue a conservatorship to manage the property of a physically incapacitated but mentally competent person after her assent to the conservatorship had been withdrawn. [534-535]
PETITION filed in the Barnstable Division of the Probate and Family Court Department on September 17, 1979.
The case was heard by Lewis, J.
Thomas D. Burns (Steven C. Goodwin & James F. Kavanaugh, Jr., with him) for the petitioner.
DREBEN, J. This is an appeal from the denial by a probate judge of the petition of a mentally competent ward to discharge a conservator previously appointed with the ward's consent on the ground of her physical incapacity. We reverse and order the conservator discharged.
We take the facts from the findings of the judge as supplemented by undisputed evidence in the record. In 1963, Miss Priscilla Schenck, who since birth has suffered from cerebral palsy, arranged for the appointment of Mr. Henry F. Smith as her conservator. While requiring constant attendance because of her disease, Miss Schenck was at that time and continues to be mentally competent. Miss Schenck has full confidence in Mr. Smith, and the arrangement proved satisfactory until a guardian ad litem appointed in connection with the allowance of the ninth and tenth accounts of the conservator questioned some of the expenditures made by Mr. Smith and sought his removal.
Page 533
Approving of these expenses and resentful of the activities and costs caused by the guardian ad litem, Miss Schenck filed a petition for discharge of the conservatorship. The evidence at the hearing on her petition included certificates of two physicians attesting to her mental capacity, a deposition of Miss Schenck's present physician, testimony of one of Miss Schenck's companions, testimony of a cousin who is a trustee of several trusts of which Miss Schenck is the primary beneficiary, and testimony of a guardian ad litem appointed in connection with the petition for discharge. [Note 1] It was undisputed, and the judge found, that Miss Schenck is mentally competent. The evidence also showed that Miss Schenck has the ability to make arrangements for the management of her property and fully intends to do so. [Note 2]
Despite this evidence, the judge, finding that Miss Schenck is "entirely dependent upon others to provide for her physical
Page 534
needs as well as managing her estate and dispersing her funds," concluded, "[s]he requires the protection of the Probate Court." The judge ordered the conservatorship to continue.
Such unwanted "protection" by the Probate Court is unwarranted. Apart from any other considerations which may be involved in such interference with the right of a mentally competent person to reassert control of her property, the statutory scheme set forth in G. L. c. 201, Sections 16, 16B and 18, does not permit such "protection" without Miss Schenck's consent.
We first note that G. L. c. 201, Sections 16 [Note 3] and 16B [Note 4] provide two different procedures for the appointment of a conservator. Where "mental weakness," "advanced age" or "mental retardation" is the stated ground for such appointment, the petition may be filed by someone other than the prospective ward. However, where the ground for the proposed conservatorship is "physical incapacity," the petition must be made upon the petition of the prospective ward "or with his written assent." Thus, Section 16 does not authorize an involuntary conservatorship on the grounds of "physical incapacity."
Section 18, as amended by St. 1934, c. 204, Section 2, provides that a "conservator may be discharged" when "it appears
Page 535
that the conservatorship is no longer necessary." In view of the undisputed evidence of Miss Schenck's ability to supervise the management of her property, the conservatorship is "no longer necessary" within the meaning of Section 18. Although the statute uses the word "may," we do not consider this a case where a judge has discretion to refuse to discharge the conservator. A finding of physical incapacity alone, in the absence of the assent of Miss Schenck, would have been insufficient to impose a conservatorship in the first place. It is also insufficient to order a conservatorship continued once Miss Schenck's assent has been withdrawn, at least in circumstances where she is capable of supervising the management of her property.
Accordingly, we reverse the decree continuing the conservatorship and order the entry of a new decree discharging the conservator. We also order that any additional matters in connection with the conservatorship or its discharge, including the question of compensation for the guardians ad litem, shall be heard by a different judge. [Note 5]
So ordered.
[Note 1] A single justice of this court ordered that any person appointed as guardian ad litem in the discharge proceeding be someone other than the guardian ad litem previously appointed in connection with the accounts and other than counsel for such guardian.
[Note 2] The report of the guardian ad litem appointed in the discharge proceeding includes the following: "Miss Schenck is fully able to express herself in the course of conversation. She is a charming and intelligent woman who has a clear and concise understanding of the nature of this proceeding. Although Miss Schenck is physically handicapped, she is not confined to her home . . . . She maintains sufficient household help for her personal and household needs. She is also able to use a specially equipped electric typewriter . . . . Miss Schenck is extremely upset over the proceedings which have been commenced against Mr. Smith for his removal as her conservator. She continues to have the utmost trust and confidence in Mr. Smith . . . . I have also reviewed with Miss Schenck the purpose and effect of her discharge from conservatorship and Mr. Smith's . . . ninth and tenth accounts. Miss Schenck is aware of the issues which have been raised in these accounts . . . and stated to me that it is her intent and desire to assent to these accounts if the court allows the petition to discharge her conservatorship proceedings . . . . Miss Schenck told me that her bills are usually sent directly to her. She then reviews them and delivers them to Mr. Smith for payment. She also told me that the bills Mr. Smith receives are discussed with her . . . In the event that the court allows Miss Schenck's petition, it is her intention to create a trust under which Mr. Smith . . . will act as trustee for her benefit . . . ."
[Note 3] General Laws c. 201, Section 16, as amended by St. 1945, c. 728, Section 2, provides: "If a person by reason of advanced age or mental weakness is unable to properly care for his property, the probate court may, upon his petition or upon the petition of one or more of his friends, or if a person by reason of physical incapacity is unable to properly care for his property the probate court may, upon his petition or with his written assent, and in each case if after notice as provided in section seventeen and after hearing it appears that such person is incapable of properly caring for his property, appoint a conservator to have charge and management of his property, subject to the direction of the court."
[Note 4] General Laws c. 201, Section 16B, inserted by St. 1974, c. 845, Section 9, deals with the appointment of a conservator for a mentally retarded person and permits such an appointment if after hearing the "court finds that the person is mentally retarded to the degree that he is incapable of making informed decisions with respect to the conduct of his financial affairs and that the failure to appoint a conservator would create an unreasonable risk to his property . . . ."
[Note 5] We take judicial notice of another proceeding in this court, No. 81-117, which is an appeal by the judge from certain orders of a single justice of this court entered in an action which includes claims in the nature of mandamus in connection with the discharge petition and the related matter of the allowance of the conservator's ninth and tenth accounts. That proceeding gives the appearance, at least, of an adversary relationship between the judge and Miss Schenck.

Edinburgh's LGBT+ officer said: 'I sure hope more police die today'
Ada Wells is back with more controversy
EUSA's controversial LGBT+ officer Ada Wells is in hot water once again, after tweeting: "I sure hope more police die today".
Ada, whose Twitter account has been private after a variety of controversies saw them in the public eye, followed the tweet with the hashtag #acab – an anti-police acronym standing for 'all coppers are bastards'.
Ada doubled down on their remark nearly a week later, saying they still wanted police to die.
Wells, who was elected to the position earlier this year, is no stranger to controversy. Immediately after their election, it came out that they had made an anti-semitic remark on Twitter.
Ada, whose full title is EUSA's LGBT+ Liberation Group Convenor, has previously been extremely outspoken on LGBT+ matters. Ada, who is trans and prefers to be called 'they', labelled women with vaginas as 'cuntscum', a remark that shocked members of the LGBT+ community in Edinburgh, the very people Ada is supposed to represent.
EUSA investigated the original anti-semitic tweet, where Ada called Theo Robertson-Bonds, who isn't Jewish, a 'Zio' – an anti-semitic slur used by white supremacist organisation like the KKK – but refused to release the results of the investigation, citing confidentiality.
Ada has also called women who refuse to have sex with gender-neutral people with a penis transphobes, and has advocated for them to be expelled from the University of Edinburgh.
At last year's student council meeting on whether to force EUSA to back a boycott, divestment, and sanctions policy over Israel-Palestine, Ada tried to get Imogen Wilson, one of the sabbatical officers at the time, thrown out of the meeting, for shaking her head.
Both Ada and EUSA have been contacted for comment.

Warren, Connecticut. I unloaded the dish rack onto the kitchen work table and came back a half hour later and the sun was pouring through the kitchen window creating a wonderful high contrast moment. Grabbed the Ricoh GR and took a few shots.
One has to learn to find lighting and contrast situations that lend themselves to this kind of shooting and no doubt I'll be overdoing it for a while as I experiment to figure this out. It sure is a fun process though and its getting me much more actively involved experimenting with my photography, something I've been missing for a while now.

Australia allrounder Marcus Stoinis has played only six ODIs for Australia. However, in that short span, he has established a strange, little niche for himself.
In Auckland, with the team 67 for 6 in the 19th over, chasing 287, he struck an unbeaten 146 to bring a dying game to a dramatic climax. New Zealand, however, won it by six runs, with the non-striker Josh Hazlewood – who scored no runs in a 54-run tenth-wicket partnership with Stoinis – being run-out at the non-strikers' end for backing up too far.
Now, at another ground named Eden, he withstood India's wristspinners that have so often been Australia's downfall, scoring 62 off 65 balls in a manner that pleased his captain, on a night when it seemed like nothing could. Stoinis' composure and his all-round ability are firming his case to be part of the Ashes team.
But back to his lone hands. There are a couple of reasons why Stoinis has been able to play them. One: he's originally a top-order batsman. He slots in at No. 3 for Victoria and it was from that position that he scored a 170 against Tasmania in his first full season of Sheffield Shield cricket. Two: he tries to dumb everything down.
"I'm still quite new to those sorts of situations," Stoinis said of having to marshall the tail. "I'm used to batting higher in the order in state cricket. But really, the only plan is to try and win the game. That's the way I'm going about it. Not try to win the game from the start, but trying to be there at the end, trying to take the game as deep as possible and trying to communicate with my partners and keeping it as simple as that"
In New Zealand, armed with the knowledge of the short boundaries, he defended the good balls that came from Tim Southee and Trent Boult, regardless of how many they could manage. But the moment they strayed, Stoinis was launching them into the stands. He was 73 off 84, with Australia eight down and still needing 91 off 54. Nine sixes and three fours took him past a century and changed the equation to a mere seven off 19 balls. But, in the end, it was Kane Williamson, who pulled off the grandstand finish, as he had done in the 2015 World Cup.
That he has been able to do well in such extreme circumstances has helped Stoinis feel like he belongs at this level. "I'm enjoying the pressure. I'm enjoying the opportunities, and I'm seeing them more as opportunities. I'm obviously still young in my international career but I think that's probably where my head is at the moment. I guess the pressure can get to you. But at the moment, the way I'm going about it is I'm enjoying the chance to be put under pressure and I'm enjoying the chance to do something good for the team."
To ensure he has the best chance to do so, especially in subcontinent conditions, Stoinis said he might have to adopt a Test-match frame of mind when he is new to the crease. "Even in the first game, which actually got moved down to a T20 sort of thing for us, it was a bit unrealisitic for me to go in there and try and hit the first couple of balls for boundaries when you don't know what the conditions are doing. You can see it on TV, but it's always very different once you go out there. So I just want to get an understanding of the conditions – sometimes it takes five balls, sometimes it takes 20."
Australia looked rather upbeat in Bangalore, ahead of the fourth ODI, despite losing the one-day series to India only two nights ago. Just before training, they all got in a huddle and pulled out what looked like a giant die. They went around the group asking the players to throw it and when the number came up, there were loud whoops of laughter. Batsmen in the nets made it a point to clap when the spinners hit a length they struggled to hit, and fielders nailing a single stump from straight got a hero's welcome back to the queue before they went at it all over again.
Stoinis, before heading out to join in these exercises, said Australia were still looking at the remaining two games as a way to build morale before a huge season back home. "They're probably pretty important, like you said, to play the Ashes. But, at the moment, [we are] not really thinking about that. [We have] two games left in the series and we've got a big chance to start some momentum for the summer and we're all just focusing on that as a team."
After the tour of India, he is all set to go back home, to Western Australia, and resume his cricket. He had begun his career there, debuting at the age of 19, but couldn't find a permanent spot. Now, in his second coming, he is hoping things have changed.
"Justin [Langer, the coach] and myself have spoken about it a little bit. Maybe we should've spoken about it a little bit more. But it would sort itself out. I know Justin really well and I think it'll be a good move for me. Obviously the main reason I'm going is for family, but that will sort itself out and hopefully anywhere in the top."

Growing Old Fashioned Dame's Rocket
Growing Old Fashioned Dame's Rocket
Designed by Brenda Hyde
All Rights Reserved
This hesperis is edible, but it's not the same variety as the herb commonly called Rocket, which is used as a green in salads. Many people think of Dame's Rocket as a weed or a wildflower, which it is, but when it has fertile soil and is nurtured it becomes a charming plant that can be placed in a cottage garden, the back of a border or in mass groupings on its own. It can easily be started from seed, or taken from divisions. Dividing the plants every 2-3 years will keep it flowering nicely.
Locate Dame's Rocket in full sun, or partial shade and provide standard watering. Once established it's drought tolerant. Yes, it can be invasive in some locations, but as I've mentioned with other plants, if you deadhead blooms before the seed forms you shouldn't have a problem. If you would like to collect the seed, allow it to dry on the plant, then collect the seeds, spread to dry further, and place in envelopes. Direct sow the seed in early spring or fall.
Dame's Rocket can grow up to 5 foot tall, with a spread of 2-4 foot, but most of the time it's around 30 inches.The flowers can be white, pink, purple or magenta, and tend to be more fragrant in the evening. When grown in the garden, the stems are more sturdy than in the wild, and the flowers profuse. It's hardy to Zone 3, and will adapt to most soils, but doesn't do as well in heavy, clay ground. Dame's Rocket blooms from June to September, and will bloom a second time if deadheaded.
You will welcome this plant each year as you discover its ability to attract butterflies, birds and moths. It does well in many locations, so it's hard NOT to find a place in your landscape for it!

HP-21 battery leakage - Printable Version

HP-21 battery leakage - Brian Keller - 05-26-2000
I acquired an HP-21 which had a serious battery leakage problem. The battery spill went down the positive contact and formed a pool up against the large chip near the bottom of the main circuit board. The leak does not appear to have reached the keyboard. After cleaning off the corrosion I am unable to find any circuit breaks but the unit does not function properly. On battery power it is completely dead. On adapter power it displays an "8" in the far right digit and randomly flashes the other digits. Since there appears to be continuity in all the contacts is it possible that the large chip at the bottom of the board (where the pool of corrosion formed) went bad? Any ideas?
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Reinhard Hawel - 05-26-2000
I'm not that expert in repairing the Woodstock Series, but if you don't have a good battery contact, I wouldn't risk driving the unit from the mains transformer.
The batteries act as a filter (as really huge capacitors) and as a stabilization for the input voltage. If there's the possibility, they have no contact to the rest of the calculator, you could fry your calculator by driving it directly from the mains circuit. You should check the PCB traces (calc - battery contacts) first.
I don't know, if the chips get bad from battery leakage, but would guess, that this is not the big problems. You should check the PCB traces and when the batteries work again (and only then) you should try connecting a mains adapter.
Remember, there could be also defunct traces under some ICs.
I wish you best of luck in repairing the 21.
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Viktor Toth - 05-26-2000
First of all, in my experience (acquired the hard way) driving a Woodstock from the adapter alone with no battery pack present is almost guaranteed to kill the calculator due to overvoltage.
Second, if the machine fails to work from batteries alone, it could be a result of the most trivial of reasons: a dead battery pack! (If a dead battery pack is inserted, the calculator won't even work from the charger.)
Third, corrosion can often be present UNDER the chips, so even if the chips aren't dead, the calculator may malfunction. You need to desolder the chips (don't try it without the proper equipment/expertise) and clean the corrosion from underneath.
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) - 05-26-2000
As said before, NEVER RUN A WOODSTOCK SERIES CALCULATOR FROM AN AC ADAPTER IF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE NOT WORKING. The batteries act both as a filter to smooth the half-wave pulsating voltage, and also as a regulator to ensure no more than some 2.6 V are applied to internal circuits. Capacitors may work as filters but NOT as regulators: replacing the batteries with capacitors will result in excess voltage applied to internal parts and, almost sure, irrecoverable damage.
To eliminate the battery pack as a source of problems, you may try to power the calculator with two standard alkaline batteries connected in series (BE VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT THE POLARITY), in a manner similar to the original battery pack. DO NOT USE AN AC ADAPTER WITH ALKALINE BATTERIES.
Please take this as a suggestion only, it should be done carefully. I must said that it worked for me many years ago with an HP 25, but I can not assure success on your case.
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Bill Duncan - 05-27-2000
2 alkaline batteries would be at least 3 volts or more (if new). Is 2.6 volts an absolute maximum?
Re: HP-21 maximum battery voltage - Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) - 05-27-2000
In my experience, 2 alkalines (under load) will give about 2.8 Volts; 2 NiCd when charging may reach about 2.6 Volts. It will be within a 10% tolerance, a reasonable value.
Many years ago, I used my HP-25 with alkalines without any problem, there was people at this forum telling similar experiences. It is very important NOT to use the AC adapter with alkaline batteries, since a charging current will be applied to the batteries, what may cause overheat and (eventually) make them explode.
If capacitors are used in place of batteries, the applied voltage will be around 8 Volts, absolutely out of range!
On the HP 21, 22, 25, 27, the batteries voltage will be applied to a switching power supply circuit, which will furnish appropriate voltages to internal components (+5 Volts, -12 Volts, I guess). On the Continuous Memory models, batteries voltage will be applied more or less directly to ICs, in order to keep memory contents while the calculator is off. So the 25C and 29C are more sensitive to overvoltages and polarity errors. I think (no warranties) that the alkalines are acceptable even on those models.
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Mike Sebastian - 05-27-2000
I have an HP-25, which had similar battery leakage damage, that I brought back from the dead; basically the bottom third of the PCB was damaged by corrosion. I carefully immersed the damaged portion of the PCB in a baking-soda solution. After the baking soda had done its work for a few minutes, I scrubbed at the corroded area with an old tooth brush, particularly trying the work the bristles under the chips where additional corrosion was visible. I repeated this process a couple of times, using a fresh baking soda solution, until no evidence of corrosion was visible. Last, I carefully rinsed and dried the PCB.
The battery contacts required additional work. I cleaned them with a fiberglass brush from Radio Shack (Cat. No. 64-1986). This brush reaches into pits and cracks you can't get at otherwise, doing a much better job than scraping, and not taking away as much of the underlying good material as sandpaper.
I hope you didn't kill your HP-21 by trying to run it without batteries. Good Luck!
Re: HP-21 maximum battery voltage - Viktor Toth - 05-27-2000
I'd like to add that because the memory is constantly powered in the 25C/29C, these machines tend to die even if they're turned off, and the battery momentarily loses contact (or has a bad or corroded contact) during charging. Another reason why I charge my Woodstock batteries in a broken HP-25!
Re: HP-21 maximum battery voltage - steve - 05-27-2000
Have you thought of fitting a zener internally?
I have done this to HP-41 nicad paks for a similar reason. Some will deliver 20V to the calculator if the batteries fail.
HP-21 charging voltage, zeners ... - Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) - 05-28-2000
It is a good idea to put some extra protection in these circuits, not to only rely on the batteries...
The zener should have a series resistor, otherwise the current thru it may be excessive and blow it up. Or are you taking advantage of the resistance of the charging circuit already present?
(I never sympathized with zeners, even on my EE college days; I would prefer some IC regulator, such as LM340 or 78L05, etc. I also disliked the LM723...)
Re: HP-21 charging voltage, zeners ... - steve - 05-28-2000
No series resistor. The charger is already current limited by virtue of the fact that nicads must be charged with a current limited (or constant current) supply.
If the charge current is 150mA and the nominal voltage is 2.4V then I would place a 3.3V (lowest voltage zener?) in the circuit. At 150mA a 1W zener would be suitable.
(perhaps I'd place a couple of normal diodes in series to get a lower voltage? - but 3.3V is likely to be safe)
In the HP41 nicad pack, a lower rating is required, 400mW is fine. The charge current is far lower.
I too dislike zeners as a means of regulating voltage sources. A shunt regulator always seemed so wasteful to me. I do have a soft spot for the good ol' 723 though.
These days I find myself using LM317s a whole lot more than anything else.
But, if you've got an existing power supply that's already current limited, then a shunt regulator (expecially when used simply to prevent overvoltage conditions) is so much easier to impliment.
Oh, and be warned that in calculators like the HP21, running off the charger only with a shunt regulator is still problematic because the charger is not filtered. A zener on its own is just there to prevent the premature death of the calculator, but not make it work without batteries.
On the HP41 you _can_ operate the calculator from the nicad pack without nicads because the charger circuit (at least two of them - there are several designs- how many?) rectifies and filters the AC from the charger. Neither of these versions will provide enough current to power the card reader. To do this, one version _requires_ a zener, the other doesn't.
Re: HP-21 maximum battery voltage - Viktor Toth - 05-29-2000
No, haven't tried a Zener yet, good idea. I always considered this design somewhat stupid, where even the momentary removal of batteries can kill vital parts of a calculator.
Didn't know about the danger with the HP-41 NiCd packs, thanks for the warning!
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Brian Keller - 06-02-2000
I wanted to thank you all for the advice regarding my HP-21. Since I've had the unit I know it was never run off of the charger without batteries in it, but it was definitely run off of the charger with the badly corroded batteries in it. From what you all have said, it sounds like that situation could have fried the 21 as well, correct?
Thanks again, Brian
Re: HP-21 battery leakage - Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) - 06-02-2000
Yes, it is a (regrettably) firm possibility. I suggest again to try with two alkaline, standard AA batteries. VERIFY POLARITY and work without the battery charger. If the calculator does not turn on, we should assume internal damage... You may still open it up, clean corrosion and contacts, etc., and try again. At that moment, the chances will be low and final.
Please, again, take these ideas as suggestions. I cannot guarantee any good or bad result.

Smartphone: Files have been queued + Yellow triangle with exclamation point in the status bar
Question by Guest | 13.11.2017 at 08:59
I have a yellow triangle with exclamation point appears in the status bar. Across the screen it says "2 files have been queued". Neither will go away!! What do I do?!
That seems to be your Download Manager. If the download manager hangs or cannot download all files, it gives this warning, that some files are queued/will be downloaded later.
If the Download Manager hangs, go to your Settings > Application Manager and select "Download Manager" from the "All Apps" section (the exact titles of the menus may differ depending on the phone you have). Than you can force stop the app or click on "Clear Data" to make it stop.

Suleika Jaouad
Cancer was at the center of Suleika's life for over 3 years. It came at age 22, when she should have been navigating the opportunities of post-college life with her contemporaries. Instead, her days centered around treatment and a hospital, inspiring her to write about her journey in the New York Times Well Column, "Life, Interrupted."
With a clean bill of health, Suleika took to the road last autumn with her rescue dog, Oscar to reconnect with herself and her country. She also set out to meet readers of her column in person, structuring 100 days on the road and leaving room for surprises in between.
Learn more in the interview below.
Meet Suleika Jaouad
How did your trip come to be?
At age 27, I found myself at a crossroads. I'd recently finished three and a half years of cancer treatment and I was looking for some kind of road map to help me move forward with my life. When I couldn't find one, I decided to draw my own road map — in the most literal sense of the word. I decided to go on a solo 100-day road trip around the U.S. with my rescue pup Oscar as co-pilot.
How did your route take shape?
I planned my route around the addresses of some of the unexpected strangers who had written to me and supported me during my illness. These visits led me on a giant, counter-clockwise loop around the US, starting and ending in New York City. Over the course of 15,000 miles, I went everywhere from the home of a retired art history professor in Ohio to a fourth-generation ranch in rural Montana, to a maximum security prison in Texas where I visited a convict on death row.
Your 100 days on the road is a story of firsts: Your first time driving, traveling solo, and meeting and staying with strangers. Were you scared to jump in?
Scared? More like, terrified! I think anytime there's long-term planning involved in a trip, especially such a long trip, there's a gnawing disbelief that it's ever going to happen. I set an arbitrary start date of October 5, 2015 and decided to trust that things would fall into place by then. Over the course of the next two months, I learned how to drive, passed my road test, cleared out my schedule, rented out my apartment to help fund my travels and borrowed a car from a friend. With a lot of support from loved ones and a good bit of scrambling, there I finally was, on October 5, 2015, sitting behind the wheel with my bags packed and Oscar panting in the backseat.
You were diagnosed with leukemia at 22, an age where many young women are forming their identities and entering the "real world." You've paralleled the uncertainty of cancer with the uncertainty of life on the road, yet behind the wheel, you control your direction. How did illness at a young age equip you for travel?
I spent the majority of my cancer treatment living in a state of uncertainty. I never knew what the next day would bring. With this road trip, I decided to choose uncertainty for myself. In between my visits with people, my route was largely unplanned. I wanted to lean into not knowing what the day would bring, and to have fun with it. Some of my favorite adventures came from these wide, open spaces in between.
What places in-between stops surprised you?
The sandhills of Nebraska, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, the Oregon coast and White Sands National Monument in New Mexico.
What did you learn about yourself while on the road? What did you learn about the United States?
I've failed to discover the 10 secrets to happiness, I'm not a drastically better person, I still hate going to the gym and most of the time I feel like I'm pretending to be an adult. But this time on the road has showed me that I can stand on my own two feet even when I don't have a working GPS and I've run out of gas in the middle of a desert. It's given me a deep appreciation for the wild landscapes of this country and the wonderful souls that inhabit them.
Take a photo of your five must-haves for "life, interrupted" on the road.
- scar the rescue dog
- Road Atlas
- Coffee Press
- Books!
- Boots
What books accompanied you on your travels?
I brought along a mobile library (ie. a big box full of books). I didn't read any travel or adventure narratives during my time on the road, I saved those for when I got home. Some of my favorite reads were The Liars' Club and Lit by Mary Karr, Geek Love by Katherine Dunne and When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanthi.
How did you feel upon returning to NYC? Did it feel like home?
I met a wise soul on the road who told me: "Whenever you travel you actually take three trips. There's the first phase of preparation, anticipation, packing and daydreaming. There's the trip you're actually on. And then there's the trip you remember. The key is to try and keep all three as separate as possible."
I tried not to think of coming home as the end of my trip otherwise I knew I would get the blues. It's been the beginning of a different kind of adventure — one of reflection, stillness and writing.
While you won't be hitting the road for 100 days again (at least not anytime soon), how do you incorporate exploration into your everyday life?
I try and find a healthy balance between city life and spending time in nature. These days I'm able to do all of my writing remotely so I've been splitting my time between New York City and a little cabin in the woods in Vermont. Having a rambunctious pup helps too. Regardless of where we are in the world, we're always exploring and getting into trouble.

When Believers Disagree
Read Acts 15:36 – 41 and your first reaction could be, "Ouch!" These verses tell us the story of a huge conflict between two mature, godly believers who loved God and each other – Paul and Barnabas. Their conflict was whether to take John Mark with them as they embarked on their Second Missionary Journey. Paul said "no" because John Mark had "deserted them in Pamphylia" (Acts 13:13), while Barnabas said "yes" because John Mark deserved a second chance. To Paul, mission was most important and to Barnabas restoring John Mark was equally important. So, who was right and who was wrong? What do you think? Is mission more important than people or people more important than mission? Mmmmm ….
