I think it was Thursday night when I went out with Wes.  We went to check out the hanging tree.  The story is that it is by an old farm that used slaves.  There was a black slave and a white woman who fell in love.  They knew they couldn't be together, so they hung themselves from this tree.  If you sit under it/near it, you should see stuff.  Wes ( Read more... )

Oh, Christ, I'm bad at this.  I am so bad at keeping things "updated".

Within my first week of work, I sort of befriended a woman named Holly.  She was Really nice, chatted a bunch with me, asked tons of questions, and wanted to go out to the bar.  I was all about it, since I didn't know anyone down here.  On Thursday of my 1st week at work, Holly ( Read more... )

“Day 1”
      Wednesday May 19th was my first visit to Maryland. I had rented a van from Enterprise, drove to Ocean Gate to get a bed from my dad’s house, and continued on to St. Michaels, MD… my home for the summer. On the way, I passed Sharon’s apartment complex, so I thought that was cool - anytime I go home or come down to MD, I can drop by and ( Read more... )

After driving around NJ all day on Saturday, I went to Ocean Gate to visit my dad.  We had some dinner, chatted about my internship, he showed me some of the stuff he cleaned/did on his vacation, and so on.  So, after dinner, I put on some hot water for tea.  I get out a mug, and he gets his.  He throws 4 sugar packets at my mug and asks, "Is that ( Read more... )

Janine moved out of the apartment to be a commuter for the rest of the semester.  I lived on the same floor as her freshman year, we lived in the same room sophomore and junior year, and we were in the same apartment all of last semester.  There's one "random" roommate, Sarah, who's never around, so it's pretty much just me and Andrea.  Don't get ( Read more... )

My Uncle Ed died this morning.

Technically, he's my great uncle.  His parents were both off-the-boat from Finland.  They met here in the US and had 10 kids.  Of the 10 children, I only ever knew my grandmother and Uncle Ed.  He was the yougest.

I saw him around Christmas time.  I always remember him being very quick-witted despite having a physically ( Read more... )
