So, We Meet Again
Jarod hurried to answer the door, although he in no way looked forward to what stood behind it-–the cleaning service delivery person bringing back the blue blazer he hadn’t worn for decades.No reason for a blue blazer, or any formal attire for that matter, when you spent your entire existence piloting a fishing boat or contemplating the Atlantic Ocean off the back deck of your luxury condo. The blazer, however, now made its appearance again as he prepared to say his final farewell to the reason for his undying love of Maryland’s Delmarva Peninsula.Ten years ago Jarod had abandoned the ...

It’s even more glorious than I ever could have dreamed! I told the taxi driver to pull over, determined to walk the rest of the way. As soon as I paid him, he sped off without a second thought.
