Trot over to Maryland

Two years I started writing a blog. It was part of my grade for a graphic design and writing class. On the blog I commented on design elements that intrigued or repulsed me. Yes, repulsed. I have strong feelings when it comes to design. I may not be able to recreate the design using...

Cast Your Vote: American Express Members Project

The call was brief. A caller from a cancer organization called a few minutes ago. When she was done, I politely said that I had already committed to giving to other charities. I told the caller “Thank you.” This type of phone conversation makes me realize that we all need to do our part...
