It’s been nearly two months since my last post. Since then, we’ve moved into the apartment in Baltimore and parked our RV in PA for the winter. It’s been bittersweet. On one hand, I’m relieved that I don’t have to spend this winter chipping ice off the fresh water lines or using the hair dryer [...]
Things have moved very quickly since my last post. In fact, the night I made my last post, I was perusing Craigslist, and I found an ad from a young woman who was trying to get out of her lease, so she needed someone to take over her apartment. The location was right, the price [...]
Just a few days after my last post, I got a call from Texas. My Uncle James passed away. He and my father worked and lived together their entire lives, so he was like a second father to me. We drove to and from the funeral — a 3,600-mile round trip — in my little [...]

I went to the Maryland RV Show last winter by myself, but this year, I took Alexis with me. We spent hours this past Saturday walking through all sorts of fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes. We saw the full range of models, from top-of-the-line luxury motorhomes to bare bones pop-up campers. In the end, [...]
A few months ago, I bought some LED bulbs to install in a couple of my existing incandescent fixtures. They work well and run cool. So when I went into the RV parts store yesterday and saw that they are now carrying the entire fixture complete with bulbs for no more than it would just [...]
