Spring has sprung in Rehoboth at Schnauzerhaven in Food Lion Estates. If I’d known just how much of my disposable income would go for mulch, I’d be writing from my condo overlooking the boardwalk. Before I had this house I didn’t know it was possible to go to Lowes three times in a day. My [...]
It’s a hoax. This whole business of wireless communication is one big fat lie. While the communication may be wireless, its facilitation requires enough wires, cables and plugs to gag a landfill. And of course, chargers last eons longer than the devices they power. I have souvenir chargers from every cell phone, iPod and laptop [...]
I have now spent more money on one room in my house than on any other. And it’s not even a room. It’s the crawl space. Cue the scary music. How I came to own a home with something called a crawl space is beyond me. What am I, from the Adams Family? Just the [...]

After a fabulous weekend in New Orleans back in May I went into detox to dry out. And I’m not talking about alcohol, although I probably had more to drink those four days than was prudent. No, I’m talking about carbohydrates. For me, it’s not the demon rum, it’s the demon bun. While my pals [...]
I’m not a Delmarva native. Darn few of us here are. In fact, even to be considered an old-timer you have to have arrived with the Dutch or been born in a manger in a Selbyville chicken coop. So I’m an interloper. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love my Delaware coast. Of course, when [...]
