A Whirlwind Visit to Baltimore in Hurricane Style
I bet you thought I’d fallen off the face of the earth again. I do that from time to time. This time, the edge of the earth was, in part, Baltimore, Maryland. (After that, my computer died and, well, that really is like falling off the earth, isn’t it?) I was in Charm City for …

Have I ever told you about the tendency I have when I read good books? I get lost in them and can’t shut up about them because they take up so much space in my brain. I get this trait, among many, from my dad. Six years ago or so I dedicated my reading to …
