City dwellers on the go have some new choices for dinner. Federal Hill's Dinner at Your Door not only has a new address -- with more room and a drive-up service -- it's also offering some new meal options. For the last three years, Dinner at Your Door offered healthful catering and delivered dinners to nearby neighborhoods. However, owner Brooke Hagerty says that when the shop lost its storefront lease at 1106 S. Charles St., she not only found a new place, but the larger space has enabled her to expand the business.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Many of his teammates weren't even undressed, still celebrating the tough win, and Scott Norwood was almost ready to go. His hair was slick from a shower and his gray pants and white shirt and dark shoes were already on. A navy blazer hung alone in his locker, moments from his shoulders. His bag was packed.He glanced at the door, his eyes wandering where he wanted his feet to take him. Out. He wanted out. Out of this hot room. Out the door and on the team bus, where there would be peace instead of questions, where no one would ask him to remember the Super Bowl.

For years, a carefully dressed door-to-door salesman was known by his simple greeting: "Edward Angell. I sell Mason Shoes -- all leather arch support and cushioned insoles."It was Edward Carlton Angell's natural-born salesmanship and genial personality that kept him trudging area streets and banging on doors for more than 30-years selling mail-order shoes and, at Christmastime, cards.Mr. Angell, who was known as "The Shoe Man," drowned Sept. 21 in a pond while visiting his brother's farm in Millen, Ga. He was 81.Mr.

LOS ANGELES -- "Greasy dago." "Jungle bunny." "What you gonna do about it, Jew-boy?"The words rain down on you behind the partition, coming as if from punks in hiding. You have read about this exhibit, of the teen-age boys who broke up in laughter at its canned messages of hate. But it is the furthest thing from funny. You feel, for a moment, as if you were walking through a dark alley, not "The Whisper Gallery" of a high-tech museum.Los Angeles' $50 million Museum of Tolerance opened in February and was quickly overshadowed by the Holocaust Museum in Washington.

THERE ARE few sounds more reassuring to a homeowner's ear than the "click" of a door as it latches. There are few sights more pleasing to a father's eye than seeing his kid pick up a tool and fix something. Recently I experienced both sensations. A door that had refused to stay closed was repaired so that its latch slid smoothly into place. Moreover, one of my sons did the fixing. The wave of joy I felt as the repair was completed was probably an overreaction. The task involved was pretty simple, a quick job. But the deed could be ripe with symbolism and that possibility overwhelmed me. Could it be that this repair effort was the sign of a major shift in attitude?

RECENTLY I danced with a door. I was swinging and swaying with a hunk of wood, attempting to hang a door in my younger son's bedroom.The hinges of the door had become separated from the jamb or door frame. There were several reasons for the separation. The primary one was dunking. A small plastic basketball hoop, the kind that accepts small, soft basketballs, had been attached to the door.That meant that some not-so-small boys, my sons, 16 and 11, and their buddies, had been dunking, slamming the ball through the hoop.

A 22-year-old woman apparently mistaken for someone else was shot to death at a friend's house in South Baltimore last night while picking up her 2-year-old daughter.Police arrested a suspect less than an hour later -- a man convicted of murder three decades ago.Detective Marvin Sydnor said that Tambra Dove of the 1500 block of Cypress Street answered a knock at the door of her friend's row house in the 1100 block of Wicomico Street and was immediately shot several times in her head and chest by a man carrying a rifle.

AFTER THE RAIN fell last weekend, the front door wouldn't close. That is one of the rhythms of life on the homefront. The door, a double door that faces the street and opens into a vestibule, is a barometer of the Maryland mood. When the air is heavy with humidity or rain, as it was last week, the door balks. When the weather improves, so does its behavior. It would make some sense to allow the door to move through this cycle uninterrupted. But I can't. Just as Sisyphus was doomed to roll a rock up a hill only to have it roll back down the hill as he reached the summit, so I am fated to tussle with a door that won't close.
