Thankfully we are safe from the storm.  We experience some pretty strong winds and a whole lot of rain; yet, we never lost power.  Last night, we had some minor flooding in our kitchen but that appears to be drying out quickly with the aid of a fan.  Hopefully there will be no mold issues to deal with since the majority of the rain appears to have left us here in MD.  For that I am thankful. While the seemingly {Read More}

A Frankenstorm is coming!  For those of you that are not not like me and tuned to your weather stations like GLUE, here is what lies ahead.  Hurricane Sandy is heading up the East Coast as we speak.  Combine that with a high pressure system that is described as a northern blockage designed to fuel the strength of Sandy as she hits shore and it sounds even worse.  Then to top it off, add in the wintry mix that is {Read More}

I just got home from the Army Ten Miler Expo!  I can’t believe that the race is this Sunday! Bib pickup was a breeze, as was the line for t-shirts.  I am really glad we made the time to go today because I have a feeling the ease of parking and short lines will not be the case tomorrow.
