Dining Guide a Hit

I am enjoying this edition.

Quality and food selection are up at Pirates Cove. As they are but three miles down the road, we will re-visit.

Pleased to see a mention of Jalapeños as they are our favorite go-to restaurant in Annapolis. Great food and people; quiet atmosphere.

The When’s, Where’s and How’s of Love

When, where or how, love takes stepping outside your comfort zone

When is the adverb director Rob Reiner and crew settled on for the legendary (and now ancient) rom-com When Harry Met Sally … . Success is its own reward, so we follow that catchy precedent in this year’s Valentine’s story about finding love.

Getting Our Websters Straight

It was Noah Webster who published a dictionary in 1828, not his grandfather, Daniel, or cousin, Daniel. And, although he did not become tutor to George Washington’s stepchildren, it is because he asked not to be considered, as George Washington was considering him as a candidate. My source: The Forgotten Founding Father, by Joshua Kendall.

National Handwriting Day Is Coming

Is January 23 just another so what, like National Popcorn Day?

It was no fun writing lessons in cursive, and no better in the hybrid connected printing I developed in obedient defiance to the nuns’ complaints of my handwriting’s illegibility. My mother couldn’t read anything I wrote, either, which may be why she insisted I take typing in high school summer school.

Not Quite 200 Years
