Last night was a more exciting venture than we expected. Who would have thought that we would encounter traffic backups at 6:30 in the evening. We did. Three lanes of traffic sometimes came to a complete stop. Don't know why. We missed our seven o'clock reservation at the Corner Stable Restaurant by 30 minutes because of the traffic. Why don't people stay home on Friday night?
The Corner Stable Restaurant is, reportedly, Baltimore's best BBQ rib and crab shack. I know that because it said so on the menu. Besides, Mike Sellers, my granddaughter's boyfriend likes it, and he likes to eat, so it must be good. It was good and we left with at least as much food as we consumed. Could not eat all they brought on our plates. (And, yes, I got to play sugar daddy and pick up the bill.)
Mike and Alyssa are shown at the far left, below. Both are students at Towson College. Mike is majoring in marketing and Alyssa is majoring in mass communications. The picture on the right is of Alyssa at her apartment. She is holding an original Chuck's Chips bark carving she requested I make for her.
We had to take Alyssa's camera shy, socially awkward sister, Laura, along because she doesn't get out much. You can see why. Her mother, our daughter, is hiding behind her.
This is what made paying the dinner bill worthwhile. Just being seen in public with these four beautiful ladies -- Joyce (not shown), Cheryl, Alyssa and Laura -- is more honor than I deserve.Actually, Day 2 consisted of Joyce, Cheryl and I straightening up the back porch, bringing in some lawn furniture, doing some shopping, and watching football. Maybe something more exciting will happen tomorrow. If so, you will learn about it first right here.

Laura must be sooo happy that you put that picture of her out there.
Alyssa looks a lot like her mom did at that age! I'm not as sure about Laura... it's hard to tell with her eyes crossed, but she definitely got her grandfather's sense of humor. :-)
