Letter From the Publisher
ever heard of it? If you have ever lived in a region without seasons, you may be familiar with the feeling of having no clear sense of time. It’s called time blindness. I lived in Los Angeles for 15 years. Every day was room temperature, and I found myself missing the excitement of changing seasons the most. When you consider that many of your memories—and how you recall when they happened—are tied to whether it was raining or snowing, or if you were wearing gloves or a bathing suit, you’ll realize how seasons orient you to a time frame. You remember the smell of a crisp fall morning or fireplaces burning. Putting together this holiday issue of The Motherlode sparked those types of memories and reminded me of everything I love about living in Annapolis during the fall and winter. TIME BLINDNESS

Our team had a blast listing all of our favorite fall festivals and traditions, from the corn mazes and ghost tours to trunk-or-treating around town. Then, we dove right into the ever-important questions like, "When does Midnight Madness actually start?" and "What should I do with the kids on a snow day?”. We’re here for all of it and love helping you create wonderful memories right alongside us! So, here’s a toast to changing seasons and making memories as a community! I’m ready for a good snow—no time blindness here!
