Haven't posted in a long time.
Well, I've been busy, although not doing all the things that I oughta.
Nontheless, last month was quite active. For example:
I visited southern Maryland, for the first time. Stopped by such strangely-named places like Scotland and California. (Did not stop in Hollywood. One crazy place (i.e., the one out west) is enough.) Had a softshell crab sandwich in an old restaurant in Ridge, with a view of the mouth of the Potomac as it meets the Chesapeake Bay.
Transit firsts for me - took MARC down to DC... took the light rail from the Cromwell / Glen Burnie station into town.
Faulty gaydar - met an out-of-town gay at a convention and spent too much time talking to him. (When I'm tired, I have a tendency to continue instead of stopping.) I didn't realize he was gay until a good ways into the conversation. As time went on, he started thinking that I might be interested in more than just conversation. (Sorry, not my style.). Some trivia I learned about him: he owns guns and had seen the movie, Ben Hur, 10 times.
Listening: on "heavy rotation" (radio dj lingo) in my car cd player was Astronauta by the Brazilian musician, Joyce. It's a jazzy homage and interpretation of MPB, Musica Popular Brasileira.
