		<description><![CDATA[My friends, Mary and Barbara, decided to ask their book club to read my April book, An Unexpected Father.  They also wanted me to speak at their monthly meeting.  I was intrigued—and flattered—by the idea, and a date was set.
Afterward, I had an attack of “oh, what have I done.”  This group [...]]]></description>

With cameras glued to their faces (and earbuds blocking any outside noises), the gawkers are oblivious to those of us who live here.  We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you love flowers?  I do.  This time of the year is bliss, especially after such a long, snowy winter.  The bloom in Philadelphia has begun: daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinth.  Even the trees are getting into the act as the cherry blossoms begin to cast a cotton-candy-pink haze over the neighborhood.

Lucky for me, I don’t have too many outward signs of my inward trepidation. To an innocent bystander, I can seem perfectly calm, cool and collected.  Inside, [...]]]></description>

Last Friday I moved my sailboat into a small marina in Annapolis, Maryland.  It’s one of a dozen or more marinas that crowd the shores of Back Creek.  When you step off the docks, you are in the Eastport neighborhood—known locally as the Maritime Republic of Eastport.  A less-touristy area than Annapolis [...]]]></description>

I can feel it coming, though here on the Chesapeake Bay, Summer is far from over.  The days are still hot and sticky.  Most evenings, wild thunderstorms generated by all the land-heat push out to sea and crash over the boat.  The storms are like grand temper tantrums staged by [...]]]></description>
