Brood X

The entomologists call them Brood X—the United States’ east coast seventeen-year cicadas. The name appeals to me, reminiscent of a late-seventies punk band. Each generation emerges from deep underground, molts, mates, lays eggs and then dies. Their path to sexual maturity extending longer than even humans. Their bizarre life-span leaves them without an obvious predator. Any animal that fed on them last time they arrived is now probably dead.

In 2004, Sophie, approaching just two years old, toddled out of our house daily, plucked the giant bugs from tree trunks, the wooden fence bordering our front yard, or our home’s red brick façade, and attached them to her skin. She stood, proud and defiant, with four or six cicadas adorning her arms, face and hair. The rhythmic buzzing of a billion bugs so loud, we needed to shout to one another to be heard.

In 1987, eating them was the rage. Newspapers touted their protein content, offered recipes for fine dining. Eat the nymphs they said, newly emerged from the ground. Fresh and chewy, better flavor, better texture. Fry them up in a bit of oil.

My cat, Madison, a teeny gray, longhaired muffin, barely six pounds, repeatedly hopped out the window, returned with a cicada, batted it about the room until its fight was gone, and then gobbled it up, leaving a pair of wings on the floor. Over and over. Two months in, fat hung off that cat in disgusting rolls.

A mid-summer house party at my brother’s house, blast furnace hot, no air conditioning, everyone swilling beer to satisfy their thirst. My brother’s roommate Andy, drunk and dehydrated, fainted cold off his feet. On his way down, he slammed his chin on a table. His beard never grew back in that spot. Me, barely more sober than Andy, and disappointed in myself that I never got around to eating one of the prehistoric bugs, went on a hunt. By July the cicadas were all but gone.

After searching for several minutes, I found a grandfather cicada, huge, crusty, his shell hardened by his long summer searching for a mate, slowly dying on a garbage can lid. I popped him in my mouth and crunched my teeth together. I steeled my will-power not to gag and chased him down with warm beer. Of all the recipes I read in the Washington Post, none remotely mirrored my late-night snack.

Today, looking out my back door and through our screened porch, I bummed about the gloom. Cool and cloudy. Not the morning I hoped for. Yesterday, I spent the day trail-building. Knee deep in grass, a weed whacker mulching the underlying poison ivy and spraying it in my face. Yesterday was a beautiful day—sunny and seventy-five, but lost to hard work. Today, rain threatened as I gathered my clothes to head out for a long run in the state forest. On the porch, backlit against the garden, I thought I saw a slug three feet up the screen. When I went out to investigate, I found a young cicada drying his wings. The first of bazillions. The start of Brood X.

Sophie doesn’t remember it, and Eli hasn’t lived through it. In 2004, Susan and I found the cicada invasion to be one of the most amazing events of our lives. At times, while standing in our front yard, we just started laughing because it was so loud, there was really nothing else to do. We no longer live in DC, but looking at a map this morning, I found Gettysburg dead center in the Brood X disbursement area. We’re in a cicada hotspot. Now that they are emerging, I’m beyond excited. I can’t wait to share this experience with my kids. After this year, I’ll see them possibly one, or if I’m really lucky, two more times in my life. Welcome back Brood X.

  1. I had to recheck the date on this post. I wrote a post earlier this month about Brood X too. Bill and I looked for them on Thursday but had no luck. I am going back out tomorrow. They did not appear at our house 17 years ago, but in the woods about 5 miles away, they were there in ridiculous numbers. I don’t want to miss them!

    • I think cicada years are an unexpected boon for all sorts of critters. I’ll be interested to see if my cats now eat them. They’re *always* hungry (or that’s what they tell me).

  2. I don’t remember ever being near or seeing, or I guess hearing the cicadas. The only thing I think about when I think about cicadas is the movie Lucas where they played a big part in the movie. The other thing I heard is that the cicadas will bring a lot of copperheads out and to be careful. We’ve had issues with snakes in years past. We’ve never had a copperhead but neighbors have and so that is freaking me out. But my ears will be open – hopefully hearing and experiencing the cicadas for the good and not dealing with any snakes.

    • On the last two occasions (when I was an adult) they were impossible to ignore. Literally everywhere. I hope that isn’t just a DC thing and that we get a huge infestation. There’s a lot of open land around my house. That should bode well.

  3. As fascinating as they are, I don’t imagine I would like to dodge the flying/jumping/whatever they do bugs everytime I went outside. You make it sound magical though. 4 year old Sophie wasn’t bothered by them so I’m just a wuss.

    • I have a friend who reads my blog who is terrified by bugs. I’m really looking forward to seeing her. She’ll bash me over the head for this post. Sophie still loves all things nature and she’s studying wildlife biology. Maybe those cicadas sent her down her life-path.

  4. I love this story, Jeff. Something new to focus on for the summer. In 2007, in northern Illinois, a different 17-year brood emerged. I still recall our basset hound Maggie, whining to go outside. She parked herself under our Norway spruce to consume cicadas. They have never seemed like a delicacy to me, but the buzzing and volume of bugs (and carcasses) is remarkable once they arrive.

  5. Summer 2004 was HORRIBLE for me. I was raised by a father who entertained the neighborhood kids by petting the bumble bees that visited our lavendula. As a result, I am not afraid of bees in spite of being stung a half dozen or more times.
    I am not bothered by spiders. When spiders appeared in a co-teachers classroom she would get me to take care of the situation. I like to photograph the wolf spiders and garden spiders in their webs that go from the gutters to the ground.
    When the science units at the school where I taught included worms, caterpillars, and various other strange looking insects, I was the one not freaked out. I caught walking sticks, praying mantis, and various other things to bring into my classroom for my second graders to admire.
    But I can’t stand cicadas. In 2004, my then twelve year old son had jars of the shed skins he collected. The shells were thick as mulch at the bottom of our trees and stuck on every inch of our cedar fence. They divebombed me, flew at my ears, hit my neck and fell down my shirt. I screamed every time one hit me. And the sound was sooo constantly loud. I had to lock myself inside for the duration.
    Enjoy your cicadas, Jeff. Just reading your post makes me cringe.

    • I think this time you’ll be ‘one’ with the bugs. One of the most interesting things I’ve seen with a cicada is one fell out of the sky into the parking lot I was walking through and he was stone dead. He died while he was flying and just plummeted out of the sky. They’re just so bizarre, they’re neat.

Book Description:

Criminal psychologist Erin Larson’s dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.

Nathan Campbell’s father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin’s help to solve the case. She’s good at what she does. The only problem? She’s his ex.

As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted–and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.

The race is on for the truth in this gripping and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.

Book Excerpt:

Puget Sound

For a few hours every Saturday morning, Erin Larson could forget that evil existed.

And usually, only on the water.

She dipped the double-bladed paddle into the sea, then again on the other side—left, right, left, right, left, right—alternating strokes in a fluid motion to propel her kayak across the blue depths. Her friend Carissa Edwards paddled close behind.

Left, right. Left, right. Left, right.

On the water she was close to nature and far from the chaos and noise of the city even though she and Carissa paddled along the shoreline and could see the cityscape in the distance. The quiet calmed her mind and heart. The rhythmic paddling mesmerized her. The exertion exhilarated her. Cleansed her of the stress and anxiety acquired after a week of forced labor.

Okay, that wasn’t fair. Her suffering certainly wasn’t physical in nature.

Water. Mountains. Sky. She took in the sights and once again . . . forgot.

Beautiful snowcapped Mount Baker—the Great White Watcher—loomed large in the distance to the east.

Left, right. Left, right. Left, right.

The slosh of paddles along with the small waves lapping against her boat soothed her and were the only sounds except for seagulls laughing above her—ha, ha, ha.

To the west, the impressive Olympic Mountains begged for attention. Erin couldn’t wait for Mom to join her out here, when she finally convinced her to move.

A salty ocean breeze wafted over her as peace and beauty surrounded her.

She couldn’t ask for more.

She shouldn’t ask for more.

But God . . . I need answers.

Carissa caught up with Erin and paddled next to her kayak. “Thanks for coming with me today. I needed this.”

“The exercise or the scenery?” Erin had just broken a sweat despite the early morning cool.

“How about a little of both. And the company makes all the difference, I’m not going to lie.”

“Yeah,” Erin answered with reluctance. She and Carissa had an understanding between them. On their kayaking excursions, peace and quiet were supposed to reign.

“By the way, I listened to your podcast last night,” Carissa said.

Maybe she’d forgotten their unspoken pact.

Erin wanted to know Carissa’s thoughts, but at the same time, she didn’t want to hear the criticism. Nor would she trust any praise.

“Why keep it anonymous?”

“It could get complicated.”

Carissa’s laugh echoed across the water. “In my case, I’d probably want the dean of the college and my students to know. But then again, I wouldn’t be talking about crime or missing people. I’d be talking about history. So, what took you so long to tell me?”

Erin lifted a shoulder, opting for silence. Maybe it would be contagious.

Now she wished she hadn’t told Carissa, but letting her friend in on her secret was a step toward opening up. She kept too much hidden inside. Erin had never been good at letting others in. Although as a psychologist, she was all about learning what made people tick on the inside.

Erin breathed in the fresh air, listened to the mesmerizing ripple of the water, felt the warm sun against her cheeks, and chased away thoughts of crime and work.

“Cold cases. Do they ever get solved?” Carissa asked.

Left, right. Left, right. Left, right.

“Some do.” Few.

“Why do you do it?”

“I need a hobby, I guess.” Erin couldn’t begin to explain the complex events that drove her to talk about missing person cold cases in hopes that answers could still be found.

“I’ve been thinking.” Carissa’s kayak inched ahead.

Erin remained silent.

“We do this every Saturday,” Carissa continued.

Left, right. Left, right. Left, right.

“It’s been a lifesaver,” Erin said. “Thanks for inviting me along.”

After a week working for the State of Washington, the endless hours spent researching and writing reports for forensic evaluations, she needed the break. The job wasn’t what she had dreamed about when she’d become a criminal psychologist. Still, she hoped it was a means to an end. In the meantime, she’d started the cold case crime podcast.

“How about we switch it up? Go hiking. Mountain trails and lush forests all around us.”

“This is close. We don’t have to drive far. Plus, I really love the water.” And have an aversion to dense forests. Carissa didn’t need to know that, as a psychologist, Erin was a walking oxymoron.

“I thought you might enjoy a change.”

“No, I’m good with this.” Erin’s shoulders and biceps started burning. She was relieved they would soon turn around and head back.

“I hope you’ll think about it. I’d love for you to join me next weekend. I’m hiking in Mount Baker National Forest, and I’m inviting you to join the group.”

“What? You’re ditching me to go hiking?”

“Um . . . Is it just me, or is that boat heading directly for us?” Panic edged Carissa’s voice.

Erin glanced over her shoulder in the direction of Carissa’s wide-eyed stare. A thirty-foot cruiser sped toward them. She and Carissa had strayed a bit from the shoreline. Regardless, that boat shouldn’t be approaching them in this area or at that speed.

“Hurry.” Erin quickened her pace. “We can get out of its path.”

“We won’t make it.” Carissa stopped and raised her paddle, waving to get the boater’s attention. “Hey, watch where you’re going! Kayakers on the water!”

Arms straining, Erin paddled faster and propelled the kayak forward. Her friend hadn’t kept up. “Carissa, let’s go! Just angle out of the path.”

Carissa renewed her efforts and joined Erin. Together they paddled toward the shoreline that had seemed so much closer moments before.

Carissa screamed. Heart pounding, Erin glanced over her shoulder. The boat had changed course and was once again headed straight for them.

Fear stole her breath. “Jump! Get out of the boat and dive!”

It was all she could think to do.

“Now, now, now!” She sucked in a breath and leaned forward to flip the kayak until she was upside down in the water for a wet exit. Holding her breath, she found the grab loop and peeled off the skirt. Then she gripped the sides and pushed the kayak away from her body as she slid out. Instead of heading for the surface, she kicked and dove deeper. She was grateful she was wearing a manually inflatable life vest over her wetsuit or it would drag her back to the surface, which was normally a good thing.

But today that could get her killed.

She pushed deeper, deeper, deeper . . . away from the surface.

We’re going to make it.

Erin twisted around to glance upward. The water was murky and visibility was only about ten feet, but she could still see her friend struggling to get free of her kayak. Terror stabbed through her. Erin swam back to Carissa to help her, even as the boat raced toward the kayaks and was almost on them.

Her eyes wide, Carissa pushed forward, freeing herself.

The hull of the speeding boat sped right over the top of the kayaks, breaking Carissa’s in half—the stern of her broken kayak propelled toward Carissa. Her head jerked forward.

All the bubbles of air burst from her lungs, then her form floated—unmoving. Unconscious? Or was she lifeless?

Her pulse thundering in her ears, Erin swam toward Carissa, grabbed her, and inflated their life vests. They rose quickly to the surface. Erin broke the water and gasped for breath as she held Carissa. The water remained disturbed from the speeding boat’s wake and crashed over them.

Erin confirmed what she already feared. Carissa wasn’t breathing. Adrenaline surged through her. She had to keep moving. Holding on to Carissa, Erin started swimming them back to shore.

She spotted the errant boat making a big circle.

Coming back? Had someone lost control? She had to make it to shore to give Carissa CPR. And maybe even to save them both.

Stay calm. Panic wouldn’t help either of them. The water was cold, but not so cold that she needed to worry about hypothermia. At least not yet. The whir of a boat from her left drew her attention, kicking up her already rapid heartbeat. As she took in the slowly approaching trawler—a far different boat from the speeding cruiser—relief eased the tension in her shoulders. Three men and a couple of women waved.

A silver-haired man in a Seahawks cap shouted, “Do you need help?”

“Yes! Hurry!”

The boat edged slowly toward her, and she swam to meet it. The men reached down and pulled Carissa up into the boat.

Erin used the ladder on the side. “She needs CPR. She’s not breathing!”

When she hopped onto the deck, she saw that one of the men had started administering CPR.

A redheaded woman wrapped a blanket around Erin. “Oh, honey, are you okay?”

Hot tears burned down her cold, wet cheeks. “No . . . no, I’m not okay.” She dropped to her knees next to her friend.

Carissa coughed up water and rolled onto her side. When she’d finished expelling seawater, she sat up and looked around.

Erin hugged her and spoke against her short, wet hair. “I thought you were done for.”

Carissa held on to Erin tightly, then released her to cough more. Erin took in the group standing around them, their watchful eyes filled with concern.

“I’m Vince. And this is my wife, Jessie.” The man with the Seahawks cap gestured to the redhead, then made introductions. John, his son, and Terry, John’s friend, and Mavis, John’s girlfriend. A family affair.

“I’m Erin, and this is Carissa.”

Jessie placed a blanket around Carissa. “Why don’t you have a seat? I’ll get you something warm to drink.”

“Thank you.” Erin sat with Carissa on the cushioned bench and took in her friend. She looked shell-shocked, and why shouldn’t she? Was she going to be okay?

Carissa closed her eyes. Was she in pain or thinking back to what happened? Jessie had disappeared below deck to grab warm drinks. Mavis, Terry, and John were trying to recover the kayaks and bring them onto the trawler.

Vince remained standing, his arms crossed as if he were a sentinel sent to protect them. And at this moment, Erin needed that reassurance.

“If you hadn’t come when you did,” she said, “I don’t know what would have happened. I can’t thank you enough.” She searched the waters around them. “Is that boat . . . Is it gone?”

“What boat?” Mavis approached and glanced at Vince.

“You didn’t see that?” Erin got to her feet and pulled Carissa with her. She searched the waters. “A boat came right for us. Ran over our kayaks and almost killed us. They must have lost control. Maybe they were drunk or something.”

“I saw a boat heading west,” Vince said, “but I didn’t connect that to seeing you in the water swimming to shore. Kayaks and canoes are hard to spot sometimes. I’m sorry that happened. But I’ll contact the Seattle Police Harbor Patrol and let them know. In the meantime, is there somewhere we can take you?”

“Back to the marina at Port of Edmonds. We could talk to the police there and tell them what happened,” Erin said.

Vince eyed Carissa. “I’ll let SPHP know we’re on the way and to meet us there. Should we get you to the hospital?”

Erin shared a look with her friend. “She sustained a hit to the head. Maybe an ambulance could be waiting for us when we get to the harbor.”

Carissa nodded but said nothing. Erin ached inside. She’d almost lost Carissa. She was grateful that her friend had survived. They had both survived.

Erin replayed the events in her mind. Had the boat deliberately veered toward them or had she imagined it? These boaters who’d helped them had simply been out enjoying the day when they spotted Erin and Carissa in the water, their kayaks floating, Carissa’s in two pieces.

I can’t believe this happened.

The water had been her place of peace and tranquility.

But no more.

Erin pulled her ringing cell from the plastic bag tucked in a pocket on her suit. She didn’t recognize the number, but it was a Montana prefix. Her heart jackhammered as she answered, “Erin.”

“Dr. Larson . . . Erin.” The familiar male voice hesitated. “This is Detective Nathan Campbell.”

Dread crawled up her spine. Nathan would never call her without a good reason. “Nathan . . . what’s going on?”

“It’s . . . your mom. She’s okay. But she tried to commit suicide. I’m so sorry.”

A few heartbeats passed before she could answer. “Wha . . . What?”

Nathan apologized again and repeated the words.

The air rushed from Erin. She couldn’t breathe and stood. She headed for the rail and hung her head over the water, gasping for breath.

“Erin! Erin, are you there?” Nathan’s concerned voice shouted over the cell loud enough she could hear him despite the boat’s rumbling engine and rushing water.

Carissa joined her at the rail. “Erin, what’s happened?”

The darkness closed in on her all over again, but this was different from before. Why hadn’t she seen the warning signs? She had to fix this.

Squeezing her eyes shut, she lifted the cell to her ear again. “I need details.”

Nathan relayed that her mother was in the hospital and in stable condition.

Ending the call, she stared at the cell. Mom was in trouble. The fact that the awful news had come from the man she’d left behind compounded the pain in her chest. This, after she and Carissa had barely survived a boating accident.

Evil wouldn’t let her forget that it existed, even for a few hours.

My Book Review:

In Deadly Target, book two of the Rocky Mountain Courage Series, author Elizabeth Goddard transports the reader to Big Rapids, Montana for an intriguing Romantic Suspense story that will keep the reader guessing and turning the pages.

Erin Larson is a criminal psychologist with the State of Washington. When she and friend Carissa Edwards are in a boating accident while kayaking in Pugent Sound, it looks more like they were targeted rather than an accident. At the same time, Erin receives a call that her mother Celia has attempted suicide back home in Big Rapids, Montana. Erin takes a leave from her job and heads back home to Montana to take care of her mom, while also hosting her cold case podcast.

Grayback County Sheriff Department Detective Nathan Campbell is Erin's ex-boyfriend, and was the one to call her about her mom. Nathan's dad, Newt Campbell has unexpectedly come to Montana after not seeing each other in seven years. Nathan's parents divorced twenty-two years ago, and he moved to Boston, Massachusetts where he joined the police department, and is currently a detective in the neighboring town of Gifford. Newt had been investigating a murder case and thinks there is a connection to a cold case that Erin's deceased step-father had asked him to look into, but his boss has shut down his investigation, so he took time off to go to Montana and do his own investigation.

While fishing with Nathan, Newt starts to tell him about the cases, only to be shot in the head. Nathan and Erin team up to continue Newt's investigations while he recovers, but when more incidents occur putting them in danger, they realize that they are also being targeted, and that maybe there is a connection between Erin's Seattle boat accident, the Boston murder case, and the Montana cold case. Nathan and Erin are determined to find out who is targeting them, get the truth, and crack these cases once and for all.

Author Elizabeth Goddard weaves a fast-paced and suspenseful tale written in the third person alternating narrative that follows Erin Larson and Nathan Campbell as they team up to investigate and solve the cases that Nathan's father had begun, before they become the next deadly targets.

I loved reading this action-packed story. Erin and Nathan's investigation kept me intrigued as their unlikely partnership in finding the person threatening their lives brings two people with a lot of past baggage together, but also helped them rebuild the trust during the investigation, especially when Erin finally reveals her long-held dark past secret, which eventually gives them a second chance as well.

The reader will be easily drawn into this well written story with its richly descriptive plot that will keep them guessing as family dysfunction and secrets, possible motives, and clues are uncovered during the investigation. Just when you think you figured out who is targeting Erin and Nathan and their families, the author provides enough intriguing twists and turns that keeps the reader in suspense and guessing until the surprising conclusion.

While I have not read the first book in the Rocky Mountain Courage Series, this is a stand-alone story, and I will definitely go back and read book one, Present Danger, as well as read the third book in the series, Critical Alliance

Deadly Target has enough drama, tension, action, dark secrets, angsty past romance, and unexpected twists and turns that will take the reader on one heck of a thrilling roller coaster ride.

Learning to Chant

יום רביעי (yom revi’i; Wednesday) is a special day in Beit Anafim.

On יום רביעי (yom revi’i; Wednesday) we have two children! Both have been at the Enrichment Center since day-one and both come two other days during the week. For this reason, we break from our usual theme and routine and do something special.

Three weeks ago, Rabbi Rebecca, the two children, and I sat down and discussed what they dreamed of using their time on יום רביעי (yom revi’i; Wednesday) to explore.

Exploring the Tikkun–a book with Torah script and block letters with trope side by side, especially made for learning to chant Torah.

That day, at פגישה (Pegisha, meeting), we had heard Rabbi Rebecca chant a single phrase from that weeks Torah portion, and both children continued humming it as we walked back to our room.

I said “Do you know there is a special way to read Torah–there are special markings in the Chumash (the Torah in book form) that tell someone exactly what tune for each word?”

This inspired lots of questions:

Does Rabbi Rebecca practice before פגישה (Pegisha, meeting)? Did she already know that particular verse? When did she practice?

That day, we decided that we would learn to read Torah with our time on יום רביעי (yom revi’i; Wednesday).

The children have had lots of ideas about our learning, too! For example, first thing–and I mean REALLY first thing, backpacks still on–this Wednesday they came in and said “By the way, we decided we don’t want to do דברים (devarim, Deuteronomy) anymore. We want to do שמות (shemot; Exodus).”

It seems they had discussed at school that day which book of Torah they wanted to begin to learn chanting from!

We’ve begun learning one small group of Torah trope, starting with finding and naming the symbols–we hunted in the first paragraph of the Shema, color coded them, and looked for patterns.

Then learning the tune–walking around the social hall and singing together.

  • And finally putting it to words in the Torah–Rabbi Rebecca found the first phrase to learn, then the children searched for others themselves.

Here’s a little video of learning the tune, while walking around the social hall:
