Today, Michael and I headed up to Cunningham Falls State Park to see the maple syrup exhibition. There was a suggested donation of two dollars for an adult, one dollar for a child. On the drive to the park, you pass through Catoctin National Forest, and a stream runs by the side of the road. [...]
The genius George Harrison song is titled “Something,” not “Something in the Way She Moves.” A quick check on Wikipedia, or amazon.com for the track-listing of Abbey Road will confirm this easily. I gather that most people aren’t really huge beatles fans anymore (I’ve been rocking out to the mono-mixes in the car for a few months [...]
I promised I’d update with a picture of Michael walking Inari. Here’s one: I made an entry for the work dessert competition today. I made rice krispie treats which I iced. Awful. I read a couple recipes that said iced rice krispie treats were really tasty, but yeah… sugar overload. I also replaced the [...]

I’m a secretary, despite my official title as administrative support or assistant or whatever it is, here. I don’t have a hard job – I have a boring, often tedious job. I have to remember bureaucratic processes, and stay organized. I’m not that great at this job, but my heart isn’t really into it, either. [...]
I have been of the belief for a while now that when attempting to overcome a personal obstacle, the worst people to talk to about it are people who have already overcome that same obstacle. Or what they say is the same obstacle, never mind that no two people are the same, therefore any obstacle [...]
I’ve been abstaining from TV for three days now, with what I guess I would call mixed results. I haven’t completely avoided the medium — Kara and I have watched two episodes of John Cleese’s documentary The Human Face, which I have on DVD, but I don’t really feel bad about that because it was [...]
I like Broccoli, it’s my favorite vegetable. I’ve been sick the past two days and saw this recipe on veganyumyum. It looked good until I read about Chinese Broccoli which looks very similar to Rapini or broccoli rabe. Michael and I experimented with rapini this summer. Check out this rehosted picture from wikipedia: Rapini is [...]
Annapolis Restaurant week starts this coming Sunday, March 9 until Friday, March 14. The lunch meal includes 2 courses (you choose an appetizer or dessert) for $10.95 and the Dinner meal is 3 courses (includes both an appetizer and a dessert) for $26.95. I live around and work in Annapolis, and have attended some of [...]
Two things happened to me recently: I bought issue 100 of Granta, a literary magazine of some note that I’d never heard of before. I’ve only read about fifty pages of it so far, but it’s all been thoroughly enjoyable. I realized it’s been far too long since I read anything really good — or [...]
Kara’s Review Summarize the plot in one sentence. The trial of the “masterminds” behind the protests coinciding with the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Who would you take to see this movie? Explain. Anyone hip enough. I think the typical “indie” movie-goer would be attracted because of the animation interspersed with documentary footage – but that [...]
