Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

We had a great time, thanks! Mrs. MacNessa's nephew and his Sweetie-Pie put on a great party. Good food, drink and camaraderie in their beautiful new home.

We had an easy drive in both directions. I don't know if you're familiar with the drive from the Washington-Baltimore Metroplex to Ocean City, MD and back. It used to be a real ordeal, but improvements have been made. Our trip to Salisbury took 2 hrs 10 minutes - the return trip took 2 hrs 15 minutes. The total distance was 239 miles to and from. In my youth the trip back on a Sunday evening could easily have taken 8 hours. The trip outward bound on Sunday would take 4 hours in any event - the dreaded Kent Narrows and local traffic in Easton and Cambridge Maryland.

I hope you and yours have had a great weekend as well!

Awesome! Glad y’all had a great time today. Travel time is certainly a HUGE improvement over the years since you were young. It left you plenty of time to enjoy good company and good food. :-)

I’m not familiar with that area. I’ve only been up in those parts once and that was in ‘71, and I don’t remember much about it any more.

Yesterday was a fun day here, taking Baby to a cruise-in, and today was a quiet one. A good weekend overall.
