Moved to Maryland
Posted on August 28, 2005 at 09:36 PM EST
After living in the Carolinas for eleven years, I’ve moved back to my hometown of Annapolis, Maryland. For the past couple of years, my wife and I debated on whether or not we should stay in Wilmington or move up here after she graduated from college. She finished up school last month and we came up with a lot more reasons on why we should move instead of staying where we were.
We’re really going to miss living at the beach, but there’s a lot more things to do here since we’re also close to Washington D.C. and Baltimore. During September, we’re planning on going to the Maryland Renaissance Festival, seeing the Bacon Brothers play at Ram’s Head Tavern and we’ve got tickets to an Orioles game at Camden Yards. Another thing we’re looking forward to is being able to relax more during the holidays since we won’t always have to drive to Alabama or Maryland to visit family.

Harold Miller, 1919-2005
Posted on July 20, 2005 at 11:36 PM EST
I am sad to report that my grandfather, Harold Miller, passed away at 6:45 this evening in his bed at the VA hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He turned 86 last month and had been suffering from numerous problems such as cancer and kidney trouble during the past few years. I saw him twice while I was in Maryland over the 4th of July and am glad that I got to see him before things took a turn for the worse. My parents visited him the past three days because the doctors said they thought he didn’t have much longer to live, especially since he hadn’t eaten anything since Friday. He died 25 minutes after they arrived at the hospital and said their final words, which seemed as though he was holding out for them to get there before passing away.
He will certainly be missed and I will always hold fond memories of him in my heart, especially when we used to go fishing in the Chesapeake Bay and eat at his favorite restaurant, Sip & Bite, in Fells Point. In one way it’s a blessing that he is no longer suffering yet at the same time it hurts to think that I will never see him again. We will be honoring his wishes by scattering his ashes at sea in a couple of weeks.

An Open Letter to Technion Communications
Posted on April 25, 2005 at 12:45 PM EST
Dear Evil Telemarketers,
Why do your phone bots keep calling my house every weekday at exactly 12:23 PM? I have filed several complaints about you with the Federal Trade Commission since my phone number has been on the National Do Not Call Registry since February 20, 2004. I have also tried submitting my number to your own Do Not Call form which low-and-behold does not work since your idiotic webmaster used a plain button instead of a submit button. After Googling your phone number, which shows up on my caller ID, I discovered many other innocent victims that you have been irritating on a daily basis. This has got to stop at once. I can only hope that my complaints to the FTC will serve you justice!
Sincerely,
Jeff Miller

Merry Christmas!
Posted on December 25, 2004 at 11:35 AM EST
Merry Christmas to everyone! My wife and I are staying home for Christmas this year which is nice because it’s the first time I haven’t had to travel over the holidays in 10 years. We’re going to steam some oysters and enjoy a few beers later this afternoon. Tomorrow, my in-laws will be here and will be staying with us for a few days.
