Dear Baltimore… if I were mayor…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "We Built This City." I truly do love my city. I love the good and the bad about this place. You can't really say you love a place (or anyone or anything for that matter) if you don't take the bad as well as the good. We have... Continue Reading →
Picking my flavor: When twitter & daily blog prompts collide
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "32 Flavors." This is a funny prompt because one of my Twitter friends just asked what everyone's favorite flavor of Talenti is.
