The [Stowaway] Grand Hotel – at 21st Steet on the Boardwalk. Rooms are nice, could use upgrading (per others’ reviews as well). The standing lamp was plugged into an extension cord that disappeared under one of the beds which – I don’t know – might be a fire hazard? The “kitchen” area features a large … Continue reading Working Holiday, Part 2, In Reviews

Working Holiday
Todd and I are in OCMD for the Maryland State Firefighter’s Association (MSFA) Convention for seven days – he is here for work and I am here on holiday. I packed two suitcases full of clothes and shoes because I am innately incapable of deciding what I will wear on Monday before I even arrive … Continue reading Working Holiday
Three Years Later: Who Loves a Parade?!
Three years since March 12, 2020, when everyone was talking about this mysterious illness that no one knew anything about other than it was potentially deadly. It was three years ago on a Thursday that Veruca’s school announced a two-week closure starting Monday, when I decided that she wasn’t going to school on Friday. Three … Continue reading Three Years Later: Who Loves a Parade?!
…In Random Places
We went on a road trip last weekend, as previously written. We always look forward to road trips together. Well, I look forward to road trips and he loves me so I am taking the liberty of saying we look forward to road trips. He drives and I enjoy the scenery and sometimes shout “ooh!” … Continue reading …In Random Places
Return to OCMD – Last Day
This was the first trip to the beach where I was content to watch the sunrise from the balcony. Todd had gotten up and went down to the beach to take a few dozen photos and I snapped a few of him from my place on the balcony. When he finally turned to walk back, … Continue reading Return to OCMD – Last Day
Return to OCMD – Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Monday morning, day 3. Lying in bed, while Todd went for a walk, reading a book and texting mom whose only concern seemed to be that I “DID NOT get the hippies in trouble.” I mean, really. Ain’t nobody got time for that. You know what else ain’t nobody got time for? Three – count … Continue reading Return to OCMD – Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Return to OCMD
898 days after the beginning of the Sars-CoV-2 worldwide pandemic, aka COVID-19, Todd and I returned to Ocean City for a LONG overdue vacation. Disclaimer: the five days we were there were hotter than Satan’s ass crack, and you will be hearing a lot more complaints about this in the days to come. At the … Continue reading Return to OCMD
Shuggie Shenanigans
Feeling great, everything is great. It’s not every day that Todd’s dog wakes me up at 5:20 a.m. No. Sometimes it’s 5:30. Sometimes it’s 5:52. But today, today is special and TODD’S dog wanted to make sure I didn’t miss one glorious moment of the shenanigans she served up hot, fresh, and dripping wet. Todd … Continue reading Shuggie Shenanigans
What I Did On My Spring Vacation
Oh, oh… oh my God….ooooooh! Oh man, oh wow, oh my God…. Just hold still, I’m almost done. Two men, in my kitchen. One is on his knees, head bent to the floor, hand over the sink – oh my God, I’m about to pass out – the other, holding this hand over the sink … Continue reading What I Did On My Spring Vacation
Amazing Moments, With Dad
I discovered Rob Brezsney and his astrological wisdom in Philadelphia’s City Paper back in the 90s and eventually he would come to the internet with his Real Astrology, now aptly renamed Free Will Astrology. My Free Will horoscope for the week (cause that’s how he rolls) is more introspective – some meditations for forgiveness and … Continue reading Amazing Moments, With Dad
