Love my adopted city of Baltimore, my dog Pickles, and books. Spend my days thinking about accreditation and higher education. Trying to remember to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly. Opinions expressed are my own.

My blisteringly hot take for the day. More companies should sell seltzer in mini cans. They go flat too quickly in the regular size cans. 🫧

#tar38 racers sure embodying the stereotype of Americans being super LOUD, everywhere. 🙄 #AmazingRace

Living near the inner harbor is great until the pistachio tide makes your whole neighborhood smell like rotten eggs. 🥚🤢

My nerves were wound so tight I ended up muting it briefly during that scene. I truly couldn’t even remember the last time I had to mute a TV show.

I just cannot be watching #TaskHBO on Sunday nights. My nerves are at a 13 out of 10. This show is really dang good.

The toast to Lizzie being a good cop at the bar... has to be a set up for her being the leak, no? #taskHBO

There is a special place in heaven for houseguests who exclaim, (truthfully or not) “your house is so clean!” 🧼

Welp, had no idea “sun bears” were an animal. #nytconnections

Having eaten at the Bygone once for a birthday celebration I feel 100% confident I’m not missing out. Average food and horrible service.

Main Stage prior to Amy Coney Barrett talk

Lots of readers at the convention center!

Having everything reusable and not disposable is all well and good UNTIL it is time that the vet needs a fecal collection sample. 💩

My work database (circa 1990s Access, already old) is so old that it offers to send confirmation emails through Lotus Notes. 😂 The Lord bless and keep us.

Things we did this weekend in the city Trump has accused of being crime ridden & ready for military deployment: went to an outdoor Ukrainian independence food festival, free community admission day at the BMI, farmer's market, and dog day at the Rotunda. Oh, and church.

Thanks for sharing this!

If your dog won't let you in there to brush teeth (does anyone's?), I gotta say, the Bite 'n Brush toy is LEGIT. I was a little worried the semi-flexible plastic toy housing might not hold up to her chewing, but it's done great so far. Doggo is obsessed. Two thumbs up.

It's hard for me to get the motivation to do soup when the average heat index blows past 100, but it's been ridiculously pleasant the past couple of days. Saving this recipe, thanks!

Love watching summer storms roll in.

This former Kentucky resident was very confused by this red herring. #nytconnections

Don’t know who needs this good counsel today, but those crispy marshmallow cookies from Costco are REALLY damn good. 🍪
