Extremely tired from a long day, but no shortage of excitement. . . . It was good to see so many recent grads returning today to our advanced comp time slot (pd. 4A), talking about senior week and the trouble many found while in Ocean City. But I was most grateful for the help Amanda [...]

Another picture-heavy entry. I’ve daybooked a lot this weekend, and because I can’t easily put the pics in my daybook, I’m happy to include more of them here. :) Madelyn had her third (and ultimately final) game in LaxSplash this morning at Hydes Field. Of all the LaxSplash fields, it looks like Hydes was hit [...]

A day devoted to Lacrosse…. Spent most of the day traveling to various lacrosse fields for LaxSplash. This is Madelyn’s first year participating in this tournament, and it has been a lot of fun for both the parents and for the girls. Game one was extremely exciting, and we beat a tough team from Ocean [...]

And the rains continue. . . . But unlike most of my friends, this does not bother me. I have so many wonderful memories in the rain, and every time we have a stretch like this, I am afforded the chance to go a little deeper into each of them. When I was young, my [...]

I want to introduce you to somebody special who has served in such a meaningful way to the Lines of Love Foundation. (If you are on Facebook, you can find our group here; our website will be up next weekend.) Lenore is a rising senior in Howard County and is responsible for the daily upkeep [...]

Finally, a day captured by Bellatrix :) Little text today, as the pictures dominate. I want to first share a picture that I actually took yesterday. This was the very first picture taken with Bella. It is of my son, and he was in his usual form: This was taken fresh out of the box, [...]

Happy Birthday, Bellatrix…. :) First, before I get into Bella’s arrival, let me clarify something that I wrote in yesterday’s post. Several readers have questioned my comment about people who use cameras in full program mode. In my post, I wrote: “I don’t care how many computer chips and microsensors are embedded in the camera; [...]

Back to school. Just two more Mondays to go. . . . Couldn’t be more proud of my yearbook team, pushing through to make a deadline of 80 pages in under two weeks. That’s a record for us, for sure. I’ve never had a team make all of their deadlines and avoid the dreaded summer [...]

My night ended on Saturday looking up at the stars and the half-moon, thankful for a clear night (finally) where there was no threat of rain to be found. I was still in the Jeep, the top still down, and in my driveway. In about 8 hours, I would be heading to the gym for [...]

Updated 10:31 p.m. Bellatrix is stuck in Oakland, CA. :( I did a Google image search for what life looks like in Oakland, as I have never been there, and here’s what I came up with: Now, I’ve never been to Oakland, so I did a quick fact/stat search of the area…Is it really as [...]
