Founded in 1729, Baltimore is a major U.S. seaport and is situated closer to major Midwestern markets than any other major seaport on the East Coast. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center. I'd continue to copy and paste from Wikipedia but we all know this place so well. There are hints of the Wire everywhere. Dark shadows behind my house surface images of Omar's shotgun. Certain crackheads I swear I've seen before. The segway police in Fells Point (where I work) are a far cry from McNulty, however. I moved to Canton a month ago now - a few blocks away from the Natty Boh Tower.
I'm also close to the Canton square, which I must say reminds me a lot of South U. Work is stellar. To give you a better idea of what I'm doing, I'd say it involves a good deal of Excel (sweet), math (my worst grade a Michigan) and finance (help me Levy). I'm learning a lot and enjoy the people I work with. We're getting embossed fleece vests for Christmas - jealous?
No? What about now?
I hope more terrifying pictures will surface on facebook soon. Halloween weekend in Durham nearly rivaled Ann Arbor dominoes, ghostbusters, stuck-on-you, etc. Everywhere I turned I had women on my Gumby-junk trying to get a picture. You'd think the non-breathing polyester and mesh eyeballs that gave me the vision of Nathan without contacts would have taken away from the experience, but it made for a trippy night.
- Sluis, your first few weeks in California sound like a mix of animal house, the hangover and ... the Arb. Live it.
- Jake, congrats on passing the final exam. I'm interested in hearing more about what exactly your doing. Perhaps in AA on the 20th? If not, and this goes to all, I'm thinking NYC for New Years (again!).
- Bill, post something exciting. Like about the kid you and Suz are having soon (Buzanne?). I'm calling you this weekend to discuss football tickets. At least 4 of us will be driving up, with at least 3 of us going to the game. Two weeks, "i so scared."
- Nathan, congrats on the girl. I spent ten minutes stalking her after I read "Her name is Carolyn..." before I finished the sentence about the stalking bit - spot on. Back for Thanksgiving?
- James, I will buy that shirt. Come to the Wisco game!
An open invitation to mi casa in Baltimore.
Many loves,
Duckface
