  • Out There While In Here – 6 May 2021

    Today’s inspiration:

    Just listening to some of the songs from my “feel good” playlist.

    Today’s joy:

    Watching more of my favorite driving videos.  Noticing how our highways around here don’t have any really huge churches or crosses or porn shops like some of the midwest highways I’ve had the chance to drive in recent times.

    A past joy:

    Earlier, I was watching a video depicting some of the construction on the I-295/I-76/NJ-42 direct connection project.  I used to love driving through there even in its current, undesirable configuration.  295 south of there is a really nice drive.  I’d describe it as exurban and rural.   A nice change of pace from the Jersey Turnpike and from the megahighway you return to once you’ve crossed the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

     

  • Holding Over Yesterday – 2 May 2021

    Today’s Inspiration:

    N/A

    Today’s joy:

    It wasn’t necessarily a joyous day and I didn’t find much inspiring.  Nothing wrong with being honest about it.  

    A past joy:

    Going to the Banneker-Douglass Museum in Annapolis.  Part of the musuem is an old church, pretty much fully preserved.  It was good to really step back through history in there.

     

  • the land … not that one … Maryland – 1 May 2021

    Today’s inspiration:

    The land around Maryland.  Severn River.  The country.  All around this place.

    Today’s joy:

    Rolling around Central Maryland, seeing a lot of places I hadn’t seen in a very long time.  Seeing these old places anew.  Seeing some new things.  Ritchie Highway.  Crain Highway.  Solomons Island Road.

    A past joy:

    Going down to Freetown, Maryland and seeing Kess Circle for the first time.
