Life's little comedies: February 2011
http://lifeslittlecomedies.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Everyone has a crazy life. This is mine. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Living Easy in the HoCo. Howard County is a really pretty place to live, the schools are excellent, the population is wonderfully ethnically diverse, there is too much snow for my taste and homes are really expensive, er, valuable. I don't think HoCo is perfect, but honestly, there are so many positives that it really astonishes me when people show such crazy outrage over something like subsidized housing. ( Sun article here. That sent...

http://lifeslittlecomedies.blogspot.com/2011/10/someday-im-going-to-miss-this-right.html
Everyone has a crazy life. This is mine. Monday, October 10, 2011. Someday I'm going to miss this, right? We piled back in the car and I took everyone to Meadowbrook Park where I had to force Lorelei to get out of the car. She then spent the entire 45 minutes we were there closely following me and repeating, "Can we go home now? Can we go home now? Can we go home now? Can we go home now? October 10, 2011 at 8:59 PM. Oh the fun things I have to look forward to! Thanks for the preview. 53 beers on tap.

Life's little comedies: September 2011
http://lifeslittlecomedies.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Everyone has a crazy life. This is mine. Friday, September 16, 2011. No justice no peace. Violet started preschool this week and I discovered what I've been missing all summer - some kid-free moments during daylight hours when I still have enough energy to function. Monday was a shortened day and involved me staying there the whole time for orientation, but Wednesday she started in earnest. Granted the "full" day is only 2.5 hours, but Zoey naps and I have the WHOLE time to myself. Earlier this week, she...

Life's little comedies: June 2011
http://lifeslittlecomedies.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Everyone has a crazy life. This is mine. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. The Luck of the Cute. Zoey is in the delightfully cute stage (that will probably last well into adolescence) of copying every crazy thing her sisters do, including all the crying. Every time she bumps anything she cries and needs a kiss. Luckily, I can be across the room and say, "Oh, you need a kiss? Crying stops, "Tanks Mom! Clearly I have magical kisses and need to figure out a marketing plan - hmmm, is that legal? Monday, June 27, 2011.

Wilde Lake Village Center. There is more to come too, with at least two more projects being announced in downtown. Before the summer is over. Columbia Gateway has 4,18...

Tales Of Two Cities. A blog about stuff around here. Ellicott City and Columbia, MD. Monday, May 06, 2013. Beer is best when it’s fresh from the tap and one of the best ways to enjoy that freshness at home is the beer growler. Last year the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation. To allow HoCo restaurants and liquor stores to sell draft beers in growlers. Less than one year later I've become a regular growler guy. Growlers are also one of the best ways to enjoy the seemingly endless. He’s ...
