Blown Away

By Tim Holland on Aug 29, 2011

As you know, those of us on the Eastern seaboard were blown away by the remnants of Hurricane Irene this past weekend. The storm came in on Saturday morning and whipped us around in Maryland until early Sunday. Trees and power lines went down. An old...

My First Earthquake! Wow!

By Tim Holland on Aug 23, 2011

We just had an earthquake here in the Maryland, Washington D.C., Baltimore area around 2:00 this afternoon. My first one. WOW!  I was typing a story about women's sports (no wonder) when all of a sudden everything began to shake. I was at the library...

What is a real man?

By Tim Holland on Aug 18, 2011

Okay. I am a 43 year old, single African-American man with no children. Some find that odd. So be it. I know who I am. Just another imperfect human being with strengths and weaknesses. But I am not your stereotypical brother. I have five sisters and...

Putting on the armor

True Heroes

Today is bingo day at the local Veteran's Home. I have volunteered to help them out. A friend of mine, Jackie, got me to sign up for volunteer work at the home in May. She and I used to work together years ago and ran into each other at our old bosses...

Happy Birthday to my best friend

By Tim Holland on Jul 27, 2011

Today is my best friend Tom's birthday. This is a picture of us from Christmas around the early 90's. Thus the Miami and Notre Dame sweatshirts. Their football rivalry was going pretty strong then. I am not a Miami fan, but my brother gave me the shirt...

Baseball hall of fame hypocrisy

By Tim Holland on Jul 25, 2011

Well the baseball hall of fame inducted two more members today, second baseman Roberto Alomar and pitcher Bert Blyleven. Congratulations to them. Absent from the hall is the man who was the first to hit 70 home runs in a season Mark McGuire. Of course...

Slow down!

By Tim Holland on Jul 23, 2011

God is doing it to me again. He's telling me to 'Slow down!' He does this whenever I begin to doubt his plan for me and rush things. Here is how. This morning I woke up around 8:30 and said to myself, 'I've got so much to do and only a little time to...
