A few hours ago, I played tennis for the first time in many years. I used to play regularly, and attained a level I might even describe as “not bad.” I signed up for a beginner-plus course at Wheaton Indoor Tennis. I wasn’t sure what level to restart at, so I picked the course running [...]

WanderTweets
Posts from this blog should now be tweets, since I’m using the WordTwit plugin. There are many Twitter plugins for WordPress. I chose WordTwit because it seems to do what I want and no more. I’m not as high on Twitter as some. It seems to me like clothes without an emperor. But while there [...]
Zoo Day
We went to the National Zoo today. As you can see, it was tiring…
Lovely Day to Fix the Playground

Maryland Auto Safety Inspection

Flickr Group for Wheaton, MD
Wheaton Maryland is a Flickr group, as well as the place I live (see previous post). Here’s my first contribution to the group, taken on the day we took the in-laws to Brookside Gardens.
Where’s Wheaton?
Wheaton, the place I now live, is in Maryland. It is: Flagged on the map I made for this post. Part of Silver Spring. Wikipedia describes Silver Spring as an unincorporated area, and Wheaton as one of its neighborhoods. In Montgomery County (MoCo), and hence part of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Wheaton is not: Inside [...]
