Yukon, On the Marge

Chuck, Mara, their six-year-old daughter Alex, and their golden retriever Quark run the Walnut Crescent Bed and Breakfast in Whitehorse. They take turns telling about the quirky situations and people they encounter. Is life in Yukon really that close to the frontier of eccentricity?

First Night

Chuck never really planned to be in the bed and breakfast business. He just sort of walked into it.

Crazy German

Franz wasn't one of the crazy Germans. Not at first, anyway.

Synchronicity

In Yukon, people come together in ways we can never predict.

SAD

We are all sad in Yukon. But sad (or SAD) means different things to different people.

All the World's a Bus

All the world's a bus, and all the men and women merely passengers. But then the comfortable predictability of the bus routine changes.

Climate Change

Whitehorse does not have a fully developed beach culture. Or at least it didn't have one until climate change arrived.

French Connection

One should never judge a book by its cover... because covers, by their very nature, cover things up. So what was inside Vincent's cover?

War on Walnut

I know all about war from watching TV. But I never expected war to break out on Walnut Crescent.

Just Deserted

Some people get their just desserts. Others just get deserted.

Man with the Golden Hair

Whitehorse had changed a lot in 35 years. But yes, there was Golden Horn.

Laws of Motion

Chuck didn't like Marsha very much. She had strong opinions on every subject and appeared Forrest Gump-like in newspaper photographs of public events.

May Haircut

Chuck goes to the barber for... sure, a haircut, but also to be entertained.

Planting Bridges

Mara said that one could not engineer a garden any more than they could plant a bridge. Chuck initially agreed but now he is not so sure.

Only Bidet North of 60

It was in the house when they moved in. But most of the time, it remained unused. Unused, anyway until last month.

Prison Without Bars

It was almost like a fairy tale. Except for the ending.

Smitten

Some people say that both God and Santa Claus are just made up, that they’re not real. Alex wasn't sure about Santa Claus, but she knew all about God.
