Happy Nunavut Day! Let me know in the comments if you celebrated and how. I've never been to Nunavut, although I've been close enough to see it from a ship, and I've watched "North of North" and am waiting for Season 2 to come out. At the moment, I would much prefer...

Belated happy Canada Day to all! I hope everyone was able to take a long weekend or make the entire week a holiday to celebrate. Our weather got a little more tolerable this week, though it was still quite warm and muggy and we've had several days of afternoon...

Apologies for the unannounced hiatus last week. Both Barb and I had unexpected obligations arise, so it just made sense to skip last week's post. I hope you enjoyed the puzzle - feel free to leave your thoughts or questions about it in the comments section below. This...

OK, I think I'm ready for summer. It's been another week of relatively mild weather, though we did have a rainy weekend. I'm enjoying sitting on my deck whenever I can - like right now and in the evenings after dinner listening to the Orioles game on the radio. I know...

Greetings everyone and welcome to June. So far so good - it has been warm but not hot with low humidity and I only got my first mosquito bite yesterday. So far no bites as I am sitting on my deck solving and writing. There is a bit of haze in the sky - even this far...

"Hello, Customer Service? My May was delivered OK, but it looks like it's got some March in it." I'm back from a long weekend in Northern California, and not too thrilled with the overcast, rainy weather we're having here. I went to the Orioles game last night, and it...

Belated happy Victoria Day to everyone! I guess the closest thing we have in the US is Memorial Day, in that it is the unofficial kickoff to summer (and definitely not a celebration of a monarch). Memorial Day is next Monday, and I'll be traveling to the US west coast...

Summer is creeping up on us but it's not here yet. While last weekend had beautiful weather (which was great as I was volunteering to help on the Baltimore Heritage Inner Harbor Boat Tour), the past several days have been cool and rainy. I can't complain too much - my...

The month of May can go three different ways around here: (1) it can be lovely, clear and mild, without the humidity we get most of the summer, (2) it can jump straight into the summer heat and humidity, or (3) it can not decide which way to go and do a little of...

I'm back from a quick trip where I was north of Canada - I was in Detroit last weekend. The main reason was to meet up with a friend, and we also saw an Orioles-Tigers game (the O's lost 😞), and many cool buildings and museums. I lived in Detroit many years...
