If further confirmation were needed that the Eastern Shore is really--no foolin'!--the South, we now have it.

We've never managed to make it to Ocean City. We were supposed to go on that last trip to Grandma's, but that was the day we ended up staying home for impromptu crabbing instead. We talked about going this time, but didn't make it. One more failed attempt and it will permanently occupy the Cockaigne or Big Rock Candy Mountain spot in my mind--that magnificent pleasure spot that's always just out of reach.
