Good morning

I got to watch my favorite baseball team; the Yankees beat the Orioles last night on the tube. Maybe I’ll go downtown and catch a game before they leave town.

We don’t go to Baltimore nearly as much as we did when we were younger. We used to just go down to wander the harbor and catch a bite to eat. We used to hit the aquarium with the kids.

Besides the occasional doctor’s appointments at UMMC, our trips might be limited to an O’s game or two. Sometimes dinner at Rusty Scupper but that’s been a good while also. HarborPlace had been going downhill for years.

Maybe I’ll give it another shot soon. Even though I think a trip to DC is next.


Yesterday was relaxing and fun. There is much to be done early today and this afternoon, but I hope to mix in some good times later in the day.

But first an oil and filter change, some weeding, concrete caulking and some other home maintenance items.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Time to start cutting some expenses. I think I’ll start by calling Verizon.
  • You’re capable of much more than you think. A lesson some never attempt.
  • Don’t leave your life in drafts. Share it.
  • Sports are most enjoyable when you see people working together in the best ways possible in team sports.
  • I’m getting better at avoiding time waisters. Then again, some might say, “what are you doing here.”

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
