Beavers got nothin’ on me
I’m so busy I make bees look bad. I’m so busy Martha Stewart thinks I’m an overachiever. I’m so buy…well, you get the idea. New York wants you to stay awhile, stay forever if your highrise catches fire. This page … Continue reading

Ticker tape
Tuesday I went to the cardiologist for a treadmill stress test. That was 12 minutes of fun, I can tell you. Many props to the poor nurse who had to stay there to monitor me, take blood pressures, etc. as … Continue reading

What is this “movie” of which you speak?
Misty and I get to go see a movie tonight, can you believe? I know, I know. It’s very exciting. Ellery gets to go hang out with one of his friends and destroy their house for a few hours. I … Continue reading
Visitors from Mongolia
This morning we had visitors from Mongolia who are participants in some sort of program with the University of Maryland – Baltimore County. It’s the first time I’ve worked through a translator, which was an interesting experience. They were polite … Continue reading
