Thinking seriously about 2012 !

With the results in it is clear that people want Obama to stick around for awhile; however, I was able to take a clear 25 % of the votes and it seems that maybe I should think seriously about taking on Obama in 2012..

That is if we can somehow avoid the Mayan Apocalypse!!

I will continue to work on my 2012 Campaign Message.

But today I am headed to the Boston Red Sox game, I can't think about politics right now.

Pictures from Beautiful Fenway Park will be posted later !!

Being Careful at work today

My Horoscope !!


Someone at work may be pushing your buttons now. Naturally, your smartest move would be to look the other way and sidestep any interaction that could erupt into an unpleasant encounter, but you probably won't be able to hide your annoyance. Luckily, you can turn a difficult situation around by transforming your anger into compassion. A little love and understanding on your part will go a long way today.....


I'll be humming Elvis Costello's song "What's so funny bout peace, love and understanding" for the rest of the day.

Some of the food...

Really, what is a road trip good for if you don't stop to eat ??



Captain Crunch French Toast, from the Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore, MD.



I heard about the place from the show on the Food Network called Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, hosted by Guy Fieri. Here is a map of all the places he's been.

His assessment of the French Toast was spot on accurate.It was delicious,. I stole a taste from another Team Hideaway member...




I had the Country Scramble, above, which was lightly scrambled egg over fresh country biscuits topped with cheese, bacon and country gravy and served with crispy hash browns potatoes...I could have eaten 2 plates full!!

As for the famous Maryland Lump Crab, it seems every place I ever see crab cakes on the menu boasts that they use, Maryland Lump Crab, NOT EVEN CLOSE, sorry Legal Seafood and all the other pretenders...If you want the real thing you have to go to Maryland or order your Crab directly from the source.

Here is a good source to order from and a great place to eat: G&M Restaurant and Lounge

and this is what their crab cakes look like when served up:



Tender, very little spice almost ALL CRABMEAT..The Best ever !!

Back Home Again

Arrived back home about midnight on Sunday. Here are some shots I got at the National Zoo...

The Prairie Dog was wondering if he would be paid for posing.


The Panda would not look at the camera!



The Lion was just chillin out.


The Tiger wondered if I had any food,


He got a drink and then kept looking ..



For something to eat...


More pictures...tomorrow!

Washington DC Photos



The Washington Monument above with the sun setting behind it was one of the last pictures I took on Friday. We really tried to get as much in as we could on what proved to be a beautiful day in D.C.



The Jefferson Memorial



The Capitol Building




The Museum Of Natural History




The Lincoln Memorial





The Korean War Memorial




The museum of American History, I think I look a little Presidential.



One thing I noticed when we started out on the National Mall was that it really could use some turf builder, that proposal to spend a couple million on some grass seed might not have been too far off the mark.


Did you notice , I still got some moves !!

Well, I'm tired and going to bed, if you click on the pictures and they are extremely large, I'm sorry..I don't have my usual editing program .
