The Gift That Keeps On Giving – Matt
Last Christmas I mailed a good friend of mine, an editor at the Aegis and Record newspapers, a gift. He mailed it back, unopened, with a curt note attached. Maybe this was to be expected. About a month-and-a-half earlier, we’d allowed some local businesspeople to run an ad for The Dagger in The Record newspaper […]
No Longer Do You Have To Feel Alone – Kristi
It started about four or five years ago.

UPDATE: Five hours ago I was sitting behind a microphone in a CBS Radio studio in Baltimore and now I’m sitting in front of a computer in my house in Jarrettsville. Having had sufficient time to process my morning radio segment on the Ed Norris Show on WHFS 105.7 FreeFM, here is how it all […]
