Wherever you were, I'm fairly certain your mall had a Hickory Farms. Cheese in many shapes! Summer sausage! Nut logs! Tiny jars of mustard! I was sure to slip in there every time we went to Golden Ring Mall to hit the sample tray. I found out later that the real name for summer sausage is "Thuringer," which also sounds like the name of that guy who transferred to your class in 8th grade and was never heard from again.
The downtown Baltimore sports scene features 71,008 seats at the Ravens stadium. At the bottom right you can see the old railroad warehouse that forms the backbone of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. That old brick structure is the longest building on the east coast, so we have that going for us.
This is Park Avenue in New York City in all its winter best. Those of you who live in far-off warm places have never known the thrill of being in an automobile as it slides down a snowy, icy, hilly street. This is known as "hitting the skids."
Go ahead and look at this for a minute and then I'll tell you what it is. (It's the wire that wraps around a champagne cork, bent to look like a horse, sitting on a mirrored surface).
Leaving a woody trail road and getting on the main road to town!
Dedicated Simpsons fans will remember "Homer's Triple Bypass," episode 11 of season 4 (December 17, 1992) in which Homer can't see spending $40,000 for bypass surgery with his regular physician (Dr Hibbert) and chooses to go with discount doctor Nick Riviera, M.D. Dr Nick will perform any operation for $129.95, but he needs assistance from Lisa shouting instructions from the gallery on this one. I am offering this free cheat sheet to anyone seeking medical help from the local version of Nick.
If you stare at this for ten minutes and then look at a white wall, your eyes will fool you and show you the unmistakable image of Bob Uecker! I don't know how it works, but try it and see!
I have stared at this picture for a week and I still can't explain it, unless this is some sort of gag at the elevator factory.
It's the perfect time of year to grab some of your favorite books, an apple, and a thermos of tea, and head for the picnic area by the lake for some solo reading time!
It's also the time of year when the little tiny puddles on the parking lot form tiny ice rinks that reflect the goodness of winter coming on!

I've tried several times, but I still keep getting Bill Dana instead of Bob Eucker. Rats!
