The gulls may be gone, but Les is not despairing. As we speak, he is out scouring Harford and Cecil counties to bring us the latest rarities for our delectation and enjoyment. Jan is cooking late into the night, making pot after pot of her wonderful chili. And I've heard rumors that several truckloads of wine and beer have been seen rumbling up the Eastman driveway. Those of you who were lucky enough to get on board this year (you know who you are!), here are the directions and times: Saturday, January 17, 9:00 a.m. Meet at the Havre de Grace Park & Ride. Go north on I-95 from Baltimore to Exit 89. The exit ramp splits...take the left fork. At the stop sign, turn right and then almost immediately, take a left into the Park & Ride lot. Allow about an hour and a quarter from the intersection of I-95 and the Washington Beltway. Those who made the cutoff this year (okay, maybe you DON'T know who it is...) are: Norm and Fran (Saunders) Paula and Darius (Ecker) Manny and Joanne (Barrera) Joe and Arlene (Halpin) Jeff and Elayne (Metter) Joy and Tom (Loomis) David Mozurkewich Marcia Watson-Whitmyre Daryl Olson and, possibly, the fambly See y'all on Saturday!
