March 2010
traversing the ridges of western Maryland, where greying drift snow still lies thick in the hollows.
after 10 weeks on the road, now on the road to @HearthHill.
the expert on happiness says that the measurable nadir usually comes in our mid-40s. hmmm.

not quite ahead of rush-hour, crawling over the Potomac into Maryland, where i’ll linger a few days.
nourishing my city soul with ethnic foods, as my country heart looks toward Appalachia.
measured and combined the wet ingredients for biscuits, before realizing i’d run low on the dry. eating moist biscuity muffins. muscuits?
WATCHING Jackie cook is ALMOST as pleasurable as EATING what she cooks. both are an education.

biscuits and coffee make everything better.

the tweet of sparrows, echoing through concrete vaults, like a church choir. #winter #parking-garage #haiku
a squadron of Canadian Geese glide over the vacant parking garage, like Japanese torpedo planes at dawn.

working up a light sweat eating Chicken Big Mamou, with half a dozen dear friends. a damn fine Sunday evening.
parking myself and my portable office in Arlington, this week.
familiar old roads transformed with unfamiliar landmarks; the drive from Burtonsville to Rockville maps the migration of my earlier years.

my ever changing work schedule will keep me in the greater DC and Baltimore area for another week.
thinking i may remain in Maryland for the remainder of the week.
after 5 weeks in the semi-tropics, living out of 2 bags; i’ve returned to winter, living out of my car. reorganizing my gear, accordingly.
got to Maryland a day early. worked 24 hours on the way; only slept 2. now telling my silicon minions to carry on without me, tonight.
suspecting that installing the new well pump @HearthHill seems a lot more fun here (on-the-road 800 miles away), than there (doing it).
barrelling north on 95, hoping to round the Washington Beltway riding rush hour’s crest.
hushing walls / hankering for / train whistles.
burnt coffee in a styrofoam cup, and Krispy Kreme the freshest pastry in sight. we must be on the road in the USA.
on the road north, from the Gulf coast toward the Atlantic.
