So here we are at the conclusion of a months-long journey in pursuit of the Ultimate Blogger position, and despite lots of effort and tons of support, it didn’t work out.  While I’m certainly disappointed (who wouldn’t be?) it’s not the end of the world, and I have other things to pursue and will continue …

Last night Natalia hit a major milestone: 200,000 miles!  This makes the 3rd car I’ve had to hit this point.  Not everyone is a fan of seeing these sorts of things on their cars, but I consider it a point of pride that my car has gone this far and is still running like a …

I did an interview this morning with a reporter from our local paper here in Annapolis about the Ultimate Blogger contest & my entry.  She asked about how the contest works, why I’m competing, what makes me qualified and a whole bunch of other details.  It’s expected to be published this coming Monday, and obviously …
