I love to drive. It’s the only explanation of why after driving hundreds of miles (at the cost of my car) I decide to go on another road trip (to Hershey, PA) only a week after getting back from the beach. But really Hersheypark was something I couldn’t miss. Like the annual beach trip, the [...]
It has not been a great month for the Toyota Corolla. It’s nothing at all exciting as I have written before but it does a great job in transporting me from point A to point B. However the ride from my beach trip led to multiple incidents that would make anyone think, “why me?” First [...]
You would think that I would need a vacation after my beach vacation but that wasn’t happening at all. I welcomed myself back to DC with a string of baseball games. Monday after my trip I drove up to Baltimore with Cynthia to see the Red Sox/Orioles game. The game was going well for the [...]
