(Photo taken by Rus VanWestervelt) “When you need us, we’ll be there.” There’s a good chance that, just a few miles from your house, you have a group of men and women who are prepared to put their lives on the line for you at any time, on any day. They’re not getting paid for…

Three (quick!) things I think about the day: There is great merit in doing nothing. This was a day of rest for me, for the most part–one that I needed desperately. (Amy was not so lucky, as her day was filled with horse events–all of which she absolutely loved; she just had a busy busy…

Time: 1813 Opening Impressions: 1. We went into school today for our half-day, despite the condition of the roads being far worse than they were earlier this week when we landed a two-hour delay. It was important that we held our mid-terms today to stay on schedule with posting grades, but I question the criteria…

Our local volunteer fire department in Lutherville lost one of their brothers tonight. A 4-alarm fire broke out in the Towson Crossing Apartments in Parkville, just south of Taylor Avenue on Loch Raven Boulevard. Firefighters searched through the burning building and performed several emergency rescues. When the command was given for all firefighters to evacuate…

Of course, I am punning from the ever-eighties song, “Ice, Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice (Yo baby, let’s kick it). It would be wrong (so very wrong) for me to put together a rap of our surprise day off; rather, I think I’ll just share a few of the highlights and call it a day.…

Time: 20:06 Opening Impressions: 1. Last Friday, when I looked at how busy and hectic this weekend was going to be, my goal was to just get through it, you know? Three days at the farm for horse events, the gymnastics competition in Knoxville, TN, big meetings about programs with critical needs, play dates, and…

I get hyped up about football for some reason. I don’t understand half of the game, to be honest with you, and I still don’t know all the positions on the team or what each player is really supposed to do. Still, it’s fun following the Ravens. They’re a good team, and watching them play…

Time: 2031 Opening Impressions: 1. I’m really looking forward to next Friday, where I will be kicking off a new feature on my blog called Friday Focus: Spotlighting Marylanders Who Are Making a Difference. My first Focus will be on the firefighters and EMTs at our local volunteer fire station. If you live in Maryland…

Amy dropped a bomb on me today when she posted on my Facebook wall that the zodiac signs had shifted to make way for sign no. 13 (that, alone, tells you how stupid all this is. Yeah, like I want to be one of the lucky ones to have zodiac number 13 as my sign…).…
