Twenty years ago, I wrote, and published, "Electric Christmas" in Baltimore's Child. It was my first sold piece as a freelance writer, and it kicked off a career in submitting my original work to share with the world.

Carl mentioned her even after I said that I wasn't looking for her, but of course he was right all along. I'm talking about my earlier post where I was in search of a singer to soothe my soul.
