Ah, nothing like a week in the hometown of one’s alma matter. I got to visit and spend time with most of the people who make Maryland a special place for me. Thanks go out to (in no particular order): Barney, Christine, Damian, Gail and Michael, Hymie and Michelle, Janine, Koset, Maria, Mark, and Mark and Carolyn.

While I was down in MD, I finally went to Fort McHenry - it is amazing how onw can live in a town for 10 years and never visit the local historic sites. I also went to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Pictures are available.

Just one more week in NY and then it is back to CA. The excitement is building!
