I, too, am a Baltimore native living in Florida, Eileen. I curse at the nightly news and fear the Trump signs I see when I walk my dog. And, yeah, we both have dogs. Destiny - it's destiny!

I like your work.

Leans towards nature but very eclectic. Would love to add you as a writer if you're interested.
