An Orioles-Reds trade to give Baltimore some much-needed starting rotation help
The Baltimore Orioles entered the 2024 season with one of, if not the best rotation in the American League on paper, but thanks to some injuries, it doesn't look like one of the best now. Corbin Burnes and Grayson Rodriguez are two awesome pieces, but thanks to injuries to Kyle Bradish, John Means, and Tyler Wells, Dean Kremer is their third starter.

Nancy R. Thomas’ “Serendipitous Moments” Exhibit at Artists’ Gallery Through August
Throughout the month of August, The Artists’ Gallery will feature the latest work by Nancy R. Thomas in a show entitled “Serendipitous Moments.” As noted by the artist, “Painting from life is an elusive endeavor at best. In the moments in which the planets align with divine inspiration and things miraculously fall into place, the artist experiences a serendipitous moment. These moments are rare and must be appreciated and accepted with grace. It is the immediacy of painting from life that I love. When one goes out with the intention of painting a scene, and the light attracts you to something entirely unplanned, the unexpected needs to be embraced. After living with a painting for a while, it will tell you what it needs and with a few short strokes, the work is transformed. This, too, is a serendipitous moment. This show includes new work completed on location as well as studio paintings from life. It is my hope that they all were the result of a serendipitous moment!”

A Landmark Reimagined: The Revival of Easton’s Waterfowl Building
Standing in front of the Waterfowl Building this past weekend started me thinking about how interesting it is to watch history evolve, listen for echoes of the past, and wonder about future possibilities. After all, this is an Easton landmark—the big castle-looking thing with the geese sculpture. Many still refer to it as ‘The Armory’ due to its prior life as the local home of the Maryland National Guard. However, in 1997, the building was transferred to the Waterfowl Festival and became the Waterfowl Building. Built in 1927, this sturdy structure is almost 100 years old, yet very little has changed. And that’s the problem—very little has changed. While some renovations have been done over the years, it is only now that the efforts have genuinely taken off. Thanks to the Waterfowl Festival’s leadership and local community support, its longevity just might have been extended.
