Derailed and deflated

, June 6, 2010

I’ve been doing a pretty fine job so far of making the most of June, like I recently pledged to do. Looking back on the past few days, I’d say I’m off to a pretty great start. But there might be a lot to say for backing off from all that momentum once in a […]

Privacy, sure, but here’s another reason to leave Facebook

, June 1, 2010

On the way back from lunch, I happened to pass a fire truck and an ambulance that had been called to College Park to deal with an emergency. The vehicles had been left unattended, which made it a perfect opportunity for some woman to hop on the back of the fire truck so her boyfriend […]
