A Good Cause

MS is a horrible disease and one of my best friends does something about it every year.

She raises money for a cure through the Cheasapeak Bay Challenge Walk.

Even a small pledge helps and her rather spiffy web page makes donating easy.


Reposting...

Yes, this is a post from last year.

Why did I pull it up from the archive?

Because the URL for the Sly Horse Tavern's web site has changed and their web master was conscientious enough to drop me a line today.

And the place really is that fabulous.

Q: Why are there so few Irish lawyers?

A: The majority of them can't pass a bar...

Blizzard, anyone?

Yesterday was my first trip out since Saturday night.

Going somewhere became extraordinarily urgent -- only because tons of snow blocked my progress.

Funny how that works.

*A bored Christina is a bad thing.*

The roads were in better shape than I thought they would be -- if only the people on the road had been driving sane. Mostly a bunch of evil mother fu@#ers going way too fast for conditions. Being in a Suburban, I refused to be crowded or pushed. Lets hear it for the law of gross mass tonnage and the urban assault vehicle known as the Texas Cadillac.

The day's highlight was dinner at the Sly Horse Tavern.

I actually posted a review:

The Sly Horse Tavern is on my short list for must visit restaurants when in the Baltimore/Annapolis/Washington area. It is so consistently wonderful that I recommend it without hesitation to friends visiting the east coast. The food is fabulous and the service -- outstanding. The menu is small -- but the wine list is just right and not pretentious. The daily `Horse Sheet` provides variety -- excellent seafood and a solid NY Strip. I started going in 1993 and have never had a bad experience. The fireplace room is great for small gatherings, the booths provide intimacy for more romantic meetings, and the upstairs room complete with gable windows is perfect for parties. Well worth the trip to Crofton. A restaurant you will return to...

And I do!

Yum.
