I have landed in MD. I am here. Am exhausted. Will email you, Ginger. Hope to go to MADopefest. Cannot communicate better. Was 60 degrees in Jackson when I left this morning, is colder than a welldigger’s @ss now. My toes are numb. Am in MD.
Hola, Nichol_storm, and welcome to Bawlmer. What exactly are you doing with Americorps? I ask because my husband is also in Americorps, posted with a chapter of Habitat for Humanity in Baltimore city.
Anyway, hope your arrival went well, and you packed some warm clothes for the next couple of months. 
Oh, yeah, Confederate baby blood. It’s dried, ground up and sold as “Old Bay” seasoning. 
There. That oughta scare her real good. 
I’m in Americorps NCCC program; you can stop by my blog (shameless plug) and see what I’m up to. Drop me an email and tell me your husband’s name, maybe I’ll meet him!
Btw, all the Americorps boys are very, very cute. Hee hee!
Welcome to the snowy MADlands, Nichol. Glad for your sake you’re in Maryland, where they still maintain roads during weather events. You could have been shipped to PA, where the new State motto is: Welcome to PA-road construction next 473 miles-fines doubled in construction zones-reduce speed to brisk walk and turn on headlights.
Things you should check out over the next 9 months: (IMHO)
MADfests
Fell’s Point
Camden Yards
Bmore aquarium
Winterthur
DC-see Anna Lucretia or Anitavacation, et. al.
Gettysburg battlefield-I’m nearby, as are Airman Doors and Ms Robyn
Philadelphia old city-True Pisces, Verrain, Mearos, Doc Cathode, Frank#2, Twickster and the rest of the Phila gang rock!! (no offense to any name skipped)
What other suggestions for entertainment, arts, and culture can we offer to our MAD guest?
