Cathy celebrated her birthday with flair on the Ocean City Boardwalk this week. Of course, the sun was shining in honor of her day. Next year, perhaps, a red birthday cake and a glass of red wine? Would that go together? And a ride on the Ferris wheel! Good wishes to Cathy for a wonderful […]

Late Saturday night update: Saturday was a disappointment in Ocean City, weatherwise. The sky remained gray for too much of the day, and the temperature failed to reach the predicted 60. A few more hours of sunshine and a few more degrees of temperature would have made all the difference. I’m hoping we get that […]
