Ocean City End-of-Season Status Report, 2011
More than usual, it feels like something is ending in Ocean City this September. But take this report with a caveat: Events and perceptions often appear distorted after a long summer season, to those who remain when the visitors go home.

Time Out for Election Season — See you in September
August 9, 2010
As usual, I’m taking a short break from Maryland On My Mind in August. This year, the reason is the 2010 election campaign.

The Democrats were celebratory after winning, but they seemed […]

March 22, 2010
I am sorry to report that my congressman, Rep. Frank Kratovil, wakes up on the wrong side of history this morning. Last night, Mr. Kratovil was the only Democrat from Maryland to vote NO on the health care reform bill. He then voted NO on the Reconciliation package to fix the flaws in the Senate […]
