Good morning. It is 6:30 a.m. I overslept this morning by a good hour, and I am grateful for it. Often, I think that the body continues to send us messages; all we need to do is get out of the way, shut down that inner critic, and let the body take over. It always…

Day 1. It’s 9:47 p.m., and I am just getting the chance to jump on line and throw down my day-1 post. Like I promised, I’m going to be candid in these entries about this journey. When I woke up at 4:57 a.m., and I turned off my alarm, my first thought was, What stupidity…

About 1.5 million of us across the Baltimore region have already snapped at least a dozen pictures of this historic snowstorm. The trouble is, most of us are also a little frustrated about the quality of the pictures we’re taking, especially if they have people or objects in them. Chances are, your camera allows you…

It’s 8:23 p.m., and I’ve just returned from taking some friends to their parents’ home in Lutherville. Their power has been out since 5 this morning, and the temperature was hovering around 50 degrees before I picked them up. BGE has no idea when their power will return.

10:13 a.m. Good morning. This is the view of our front yard/street at 8:30 a.m. (This would be a great I-Spy picture: can you find a car by a tree?). We’ve already measured 24+ inches of heavy, heavy snow, and it’s not supposed to end for another 8 hours. The sustained winds are blowing at…

Here we are, all at the starting line together. Hand in hand, promise within promise, we look forward to the possibilities that await us in this new year. We’ve all got a few things going for us, so let’s look at those quickly: We’re starting with a fresh slate. Forgive yourself of the shortfalls of…

(all photos taken with my Blackberry Curve this morning) One of the things I’ve always enjoyed doing is confronting nature’s elements head-on. It’s one of the quickest ways to feel as alive as I possibly can. Thoreau put it this way in “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For” in Walden: I went to…

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Peace on Earth, can it be Years from now, perhaps we’ll see See the day of glory See the day, when men of good will Live in peace, live in peace again For me, it was never a question that this song was going to place first in the countdown. For many years,…

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! In any language, Silent Night is probably the most recognized Christmas song ever performed. And in nearly every case, it is recognized for its melodic solemnity in the holiness…
