And We're Back

Yes, we made it back from Ocean City and now like my mom would say, "it's back to the real world." Was our trip not part of the "real world"? It seemed pretty real to me, especially the two separate times I was told by a cop about how Maryland has an open container law and that it's a jailable offense with a $500 fine. Yadda, yadda, yadda, no jail time or fine for me, or anyone else in the group for that matter.

I did exactly what I told you I would do, I applied sunscreen, read a book on the beach and gorged on fresh seafood...ad naseum I might add. It was definately good times. In Maryland the local service industry people seem to be fond of Natural Light, which they call, "cans of fun". Our second night there, I had too many "cans of fun" and had to purge them from my body, definately not good times. On that night Natty Light was "on special" for $2 a can. Which is good when you're out, but the next day I decided to do the math and there's no way I would ever pay $48 for a case of that stuff! Not such a good deal after all.

On a different night I had too much crab alfredo and was miserably stuffed and wished I could have purged it out, but didn't. Instead I just laid in bed in misery.

Our flight back (heck the whole day of travel coming back) was insufferable mostly due to us having to sit on the plane for nearly an hour after our scheduled departure time. I have since written Southwest a letter clearly depicting the events and tastfully articulating my unhappiness with the events. Hopefully that letter will result in a free ticket or two, or at least a discount; I am good at writing b.s. after all.

Speaking of writing b.s.-- a few months ago I wrote an essay about our subdivision for a contest sponsored by Edy's Ice Cream and won! Sure, I won and so did 1499 other neighborhood's, but that's not important. What IS important is that I will have 12 cartons of Edy's Slow Churned ice cream delivered to my door the last week in July! Now I just have to decide if I'm gonna tell the neighborhood, or keep them for myself.
