Waiting to Exhale

We had a great weekend with the Saunders and Suttons--friends from Winston-Salem.  We toured the the  Barque Eagle--a Coast Guard cutter and one of America's Tall Ships (see photo below).  We also visited the Cone Sister's collection of Impressionist Art at the Baltimore Museum of Art.  These activities were interspersed with LOTS of eating (seafood, crab cakes and Italian food in Little Italy).  Ernie and I also feasted on Dewey's sugar cake--a Winston-Salem delicacy smuggled across the Maryland line by our friends--which we enjoyed immensely.  I think we each gained 10 pounds but had lots of fun doing it.

Tonight we are watching our adopted team--the Ravens--beat the hated Jets.  Several friends emailed that they saw our apartment building on TV when the networks were panning the Baltimore skyline. Lots of celebs are in town for the game.  Yesterday, we had lunch next to Frank Robinson! 

Tomorrow morning we are free.  Then tomorrow afternoon, the radiation treatments begin.  Ernie is naturally nervous but I know that he will persevere just as he did with the chemo.
