Recently, I visited an old friend:

He’s been a little under the weather recently and is a little worse for wear, but hanging in there…

Misery is such a hopeless romantic…IMG_1321sml

I guess we’re all hopeless romantics at heart… Happy (early) Valentines Day, folks.

This is why I don’t do shots…

I met one of my new-ish neighbors a few weeks ago… He’s very nice, but rather secretive… and told me later that he’s in the witness protection program…

Lately, I’ve found myself attending a lot of networking events and meetings; not surprisingly, one of the results is many conversations about the design services I offer…

Perhaps though, I should consider an ad like the following:

Great stuff, right? Especially that smashing logo at the end…

Today I was featured on the Internet Sends Me Cake! Check it out!

The Internet Sends Me Cake

If you want some of your own tasty baked goods to enjoy from my kitchen to yours, a few of my more popular items are listed on Etsy.

Back by popular demand, another installment of tips for life. Enjoy!

Unless you live under a rock or more likely, are one of my readers from abroad you might not know that this weekend brought Baltimore an historic blizzard.

So this afternoon once the snow had stopped, I helped my family dig out. My mum was kind enough to supply the following video of my father and I shoveling their massive drive:

Ok, so my sense of humor is especially punchy today– we’re all a little batty from the miles of sparkling white everywhere…
