Rise–and Shine Too!–With Alicia Altimirano for Howard County Circuit Court Judge!

by

Alicia Altimirano’s campaign launch event was just everything! It was at Busboys and Poets in Columbia. She said, “Colleen, I need you there.” It feels good for a Jewish mother to be wanted, I’m not gonna lie. I had told her I wouldn’t be able to make it because of a conflicting religious obligation. But when she said, “I need you there” my heart turned to mush. Alicia has that effect on me, because, as we say to each other “te amo siempre”. What an event! As I said, it was at Busboys and Poets in downtown Columbia, the new … Read more

Believe In Steve Bolen for District 9 Delegate!

by

As Steve and Linda pulled up to our house I waved to them. They got out, and for a moment, I got choked up. They’ve become like surrogate parents to me! They’re so loving and sweet. Every time I see them, Steve says, “We’re your biggest fans in Howard County, Akbi!” We said our hellos and I said, “Steve let me look at you! You look even cuter than usual!” And he did! Anyway, they came in and we sat down to talk about Steve’s bid for Delegate in District 9A. Boy, the Bolens and I go way back. They … Read more

by

Did you see that headline and read it all with the long “A” sound? A maan with a plaan? Or all with the short “A”. ShAhAn Rizvi? If you did the former, you’re probably right-handed. If the latter–probably left-handed! No, that’s not true. But it would be neat if it were true, right? The possibility is a beautiful thing. And Shahan sees the possibilities–good ones–in, it would appear, everything. He told us what he hopes to accomplish in his second go-round as a member of the Howard County State Democratic Central Committee! If Madonna was right–and as her biggest fan, … Read more

Robbie Leonard On His Bid for Baltimore County State’s Attorney

by

Colleen was rummaging around in the black hole she calls “a purse” when I entered the kitchen. “Hold on a sec there, Missy,” I said in a deep voice. She looked up from her purse-search: “What?!–I’m getting late to interview Robbie Leonard!” “I know it’s your turn, but I think I should take this one,” I said. “Why?” “Because we’re both named Robert, and therefore have a bond that no one else can understand. We get each other.” Oh, OK, Then… Colleen, believer in all things mystical that she is, acquiesced. I gave her a quick peck on the cheek … Read more

A Cup of Tea and a Little Honey With Tara Ebersole

by

On my way to Tara Ebersole’s home to talk to her about the adorable children’s books that she and her sister published, I thought about how Tara has that Heart and Ebersole magic. Sure, her name wasn’t always Ebersole (it was Eisenhauer), but true hearts find each other, as did Tara’s and her hubby’s, Del. Eric Ebersole (D-12). Regular readers of this site know Eric is a rocoinhoco fave–and so is Tara! Sometimes you don’t realize how much you’ve missed someone until you see them. And so it was for me when Tara opened the door, her dark hair framing … Read more
