I’m launching the first super-official Adopt-A-Restaurant Program in Howard County. Well, assuming I have such authority, that is. Did you know: Restaurant Week for Howard County starts Monday? I’m supporting this initiative in a community knowledge management sort of way. And I’d like about 10 minutes of your help, if you feel so inclined.

Bitter, strong, intense — he’s my man
Yep. He’s my man. Dr. Schulze, that is. And the herbal tonics he makes and sells are outta this world: bitter, strong, intense … and, in my experience, effective.

I’d like to teach the world to hoop …
But that’s a rather daunting task.
Hey, check out this brand new, bright-colored hoop I got from master hoop taper Karen Blue of (the now closed) Blue Cow Cafe in Thunder Hill. Here is a pic of me hooping down by the Potomac River this past weekend. What a lovely day it was. And what a [...]

Stick it where it counts
As promised — and perhaps to few’s liking — I’m going to add my tidbits about little, tiny, tiny things I do to support my health. Writing these tidbits is one of my contributions to the “Healthy Howard” campaign. Here’s today’s –
