Journaling, photos, letters home, and other little mementos to remember me by.

My favorite photo from our Moss Glen hike today:
I’ve been doing the “goals” thing on this blog for a couple years now and up until now, the check-ins have been quarterly. I missed 2010’s first quarter check-in. Why? Partly because I got so damn busy. Partly because I felt like I had nothing to show for my efforts. And I still don’t have […]
A little late, but a quick visual summary of our Maryland trip:
How I spent my weekend; a little extreme close-up “before and after” shot for folks: According to my neighbors, that’s 20 years worth of dirt and grime and organic funk that got blasted off with a little water and a whole lot of pressure 1. If you like that, there’s more here, here, and here. […]

Where did […]
Or: a short memoir about a single memorable night in January 2000 and how fond memories of it were spurred by the “#10yearsago” trending topic on Twitter 1. I was home from St. Mary’s College of Maryland for the winter break. I don’t recall exactly if I was working that December/January; if I was, perhaps […]
