Time To Give Back
I guess many of you have embraced Black Friday as a shopping ritual. To me, Black Friday is a fate worse than death. The crowds, the pushing and shoving and parents yelling at their kids and little kids crying and waiting … Continue reading
When Turkeys Fly
This is the time of year when people tell each other heartwarming stories about their family holidays and traditions, share warm memories from years gone by, and revel in the joy of the season. Well, that’s what I hear anyway. Many … Continue reading
The Summer Of My Not Discontent

Going, Going, Gone to New York
When my sister-in-law was just a little girl, her ballet teacher died; trying not to upset her, her mom told her that the teacher had gone to New York. We all embraced that concept, and “went to New York” has become my … Continue reading
The Stars Were Bright On That Baltimore Night
Once everyone was happily settled in with crab soup and crab fluffs and crab cakes and crabs, do you think everyone could just relax and eat? Not until everyone at the table had offered to share everything they were eating with … Continue reading
