Tour of Barb’s Baltimore Office
In October 1997, Barb toted a camera to work (for Allie’s birthday party) and documented many of her colleagues in their natural habitats.
1997 Second Half
For the sake of balancing the number of photos, the First Half of 1997 post goes through July and we pick up here with August. We began August with a little pool party with Kristen and Sara (and Joe) in our erstwhile pool in our backyard. Allie video, August 9, 1997, Girls in pool (4:36).Everyone …
Helaine F. Wedding Shower
Helaine Fingold and Joel Tonari, former colleagues of Barb’s, got married in the summer of 1997. Barb had something of a hand in getting them together in the first place, I believe. Barb hosted a wedding shower for Helaine at our house. I don’t know most of the people, but here they are, for the …
1997 First Half
Dayva’s fourth birthday party was at her house and featured Barney, the big purple dinosaur. Dayva was born on December 28, so I’m not sure if this party was on that date or in January of 1997, but I’m putting it here in January. The Franks were very committed to the theme. I’m not sure …

Trump 2020 Script
It’s the evening of December 10, 2019, after the Democrats announced their anticlimactic popgun of two impeachment charges. Donald Trump’s 2020 Strategy just popped into my head. I haven’t had most of these ideas before and haven’t seen them written anywhere else before, so I want right of first appearance. The script outline for Trump’s …
Mom’s Bag – Nov. 2019
Working my way into items I had on my shelves in November of 2019, I came across a bag of photos, articles and items that Mom had collected and gave to me before she passed away. I assiduously stuffed them onto a shelf near other old photos. As I started going through them for this …
1996 First Half
The first half of 1996 we mostly stayed close to home, settling in with Allie and our new working routines. January started with a blizzard (Jan. 6-8) with more than two feet of snow — higher in drifts like in front of our house. Once it was all over, we shoveled and shoveled, then brought …
1995 Ceremony for Ed Steinhouse
I’m not sure what this ceremony was for, possibly Ed’s retirement, but we have quite a few photos.
