After weeks of cold, ice, snow, and more cold, today promised to be warm. Snow still lay on the ground from a snowfall on Wednesday. The ice from the previous week’s ice storm had melted over last weekend; I took a hoe and a shovel to my driveway and walk to rid myself of it,Continue reading “On the First Signs of Spring”

On the First Real Snowfall
The worst part about being on the sixth floor was that, this evening, when I left the office, it was already dark outside. Which meant that I couldn’t tell that it was snowing once more. It snowed this morning. Oh, we’ve had snow a few times now, but it’s been little more than dustings hereContinue reading “On the First Real Snowfall”
On the Cold
It was cold today. Really fucking cold. I shouldn’t complain. It was fifteen degrees here in Charm City. Other places were far below that. Still, it’s cold. I don’t like the cold. I especially don’t like the cold, because it makes me limp. Many years ago in college, I accidentally brutally broke a bone inContinue reading “On the Cold”
On Snowy Conditions
Like my blog, today has been snowy. I heard this morning that we were supposed to receive two inches of snowfall. How, I wondered? The skies were gorgeous and clear. Not really blue, but somewhere in between that and salmon. I sat at my desk, at the window overlooking Timonium, and wrote marketing copy allContinue reading “On Snowy Conditions”
On Rainy Weather
It’s rainy. It’s stormy. It’s really quite dismal. Perfect weather for getting some writing done! 🙂 ETA: Writing done. The storm’s done, too. All is good with the world.
On the Coming of September
I gets dark so much earlier now. The mornings are chilly. Chilly enough for a jacket in the morning, but too hot for a jacket in the afternoon. Chilly enough for long-sleeves in the morning, but too hot for long-sleeves in the afternoon. September. The leaves will start turning in a few weeks. September.
On Massive Storms
A summer storm, sudden its oncoming, furious in its energy, moved in. Rain lashes against the windows of the office. I look out my cubicle, and rivulets of rain flows down the tinted blue glass. It’s dismal. But somehow, it’s also fascinating to watch. I love the rain.
On the Need for Pirates
It’s hot. It’s really hot. This is no mere heat wave. This is global warming, pure and simple. There’s only one thing to be done, really. High seas piracy. Where are the pirates stepping up to the plate, to sacrifice their lives, liberty, and sacred honor on the high seas? Where are the men ofContinue reading “On the Need for Pirates”
On Melting
Today, it’s been a melty sort of day. My brain melted. I wrote. I wrote a lot. A lot of what I wrote is even good. All told, it was a 12k day. But, that takes a lot out of the gray matter. It leaves it melty. My body melted. For some reason, today CharmContinue reading “On Melting”
On the Exciting Memories
Yesterday, like Sunday, was miserable and rainy. Raw, even. Cold. Very un-May-like. I wonder if there’s a real word for that — un-May-like. I digress. And yet, I was strangely thrilled by the un-May-like conditions. There was something enticing about waiting for a light rail train as a light rain fell from the darkened sky,Continue reading “On the Exciting Memories”
