So where I did leave you? Waking up at 5:30 AM to see the sunrise? And who thought that would be a good idea? Oh right, the Jackster. So, what happened this morning when my alarm went off at 5:30? We groaned, rolled over, and went back to sleep. And what happened when my alarm [...]

The internet seems to be up back and running here, so here’s an update on yesterday. You’ll probably get another about today but not until later. Gotta take advantage of the sunlight. Alright, so yesterday was a big day for us. I thought it was Saturday, so the fact that it was Friday was pretty [...]

Sorry for no new post at the moment. This quality establishment we are staying at seems to be having issues with their internet. Yesterday was a big day of hang gliding, lighthouses, and a few more Jackster-isms. Check back soon…I hope to be able to update later today! Sorry!

The Jackster came to town on Tuesday. And when the Jackster comes to town? Priceless moments. She came for my graduation from Johns Hopkins. I went to grad school part time for the past few years and figured might as well get to wear the crazy cap and gown (and hood!) and make my friends [...]

If you’re looking for that savory, Maryland crab cake, you’re in the wrong place. It’s confusing, I know. But I honestly can’t think of another good way to describe this cake. It’s a cake. That looks like a crab. It’s a crab cake. Oh, I guess I could say, “cake that looks like a crab”, [...]

(Melissa and I after the Baltimore Half-Marathon. We look happy, but our legs are about to collapse out from underneath us. Also, I don’t have a picture of me running because I generally look like I’m one step from death.) I’m running. I mean, I run in general, but I generally need a reason to [...]

Spring is here. It sort of snuck up on us. It went straight from winter to summer here in Maryland, until recently when Mother Nature oriented herself correctly and now we have spring. Which means rain. Isn’t it April showers? Well, it’s been raining for the entirety of May. And I’m tired of it. But [...]
