Essex-Middle RIver Patch editor Tyler Waldman is back at his laptop today.
Sorry, I just stepped out for a bit. Did I miss anything? Jokes aside, it's good to be officially back in the game today, just over a month after a pretty bad car accident in Towson the Monday after Thanksgiving. I know Patch readers in the Baltimore area have read the details of what happened in the last month, and many have shared their concern here and on Facebook and Twitter. It was a rough crash. I don't remember a bit of it myself—all comes from what I've been told and what I've read—but that much I know. That's why I was taken to Shock Trauma, and that's why I spent nearly three weeks in hospitals. Many friends, family members and even a few sources old and new dropped by my room at University of Maryland Medical Center or Sinai …

It's a changing of the guard at Towson Patch. But don't worry: editor Tyler Waldman isn't going too far.
"Match.com?" "No, Patch.com." "Ah, OK. So you do, like, lawn care and stuff?" It feels like that was the sort of exchange I went through every day two years ago. My, how times have changed. I was a fresh-faced college graduate when I first introduced myself and Patch to the Towson community. I watch my welcome video and I can literally see the nerves. In two years, it's been my honor and privilege to help guide Towson Patch from an upstart news source to a must-read for thousands of office workers, business owners, students and residents alike. But now comes the time to make a change. The important thing: You'll still see me around. I'll be moving to a new role at Patch, covering features, courts and other big stories along the York Road …

Let me know how to make Patch better in the next two.
Happy Patchiversary! As my colleague Emily Kimball pointed out today, it was two years ago today when Patch's first two Baltimore County editors started on the job. It was June 21, 2010 when, still a hair jetlagged from a post-graduation trip, I boarded a train and headed to New York to begin my new adventure. After a day of getting lost on the subway, paperwork, training and pizza, it never occurred to me where I'd be, where Patch would be two years later. I would spend the next three months driving around Towson, learning and relearning the people, places and institutions that make my town special. Meanwhile, I was running around town to help complete our directory. We launched that September of course, a whole 21 months ago. Back when I…
