Postcards: Before Your Family Arrives for Dinner...

My five-year-old is adamant about cooking this morning, but we've already had two burning incidents. Yet, there she goes, trying again. That's my girl. Also, welcome to the best American holiday.

Dear Fellow Expat:

Yesterday, I drove to Catonsville, Maryland, to meet with a friend and colleague about joining Republic Research. It appears this area isn’t impacted by inflation.

The Paradise Cafe on Frederick Road was quiet. There was a young man behind the counter - who I think should have been in high school. The menu said that the eggs were $3.00. A breakfast sandwich was under $6.00.

What was this magic throwback to 2009 prices?
