Black & Tan: A Weekend in Review

This weekend was tres, tres chic... and by chic, I mean "weekend-traveler-from-DC-chic"-- Who knew the Delaware coast (Dela-where?) was getting so trendy. Go back to the Hamptons, you dolts.

Anyway... here's the round-up:
* Spent the weekend in Fenwick Island, DE with RL

* Discovered the joys of a roasted garlic bulb and copious amounts of bread (Mancini's)

* Indulged my neurotic tendencies (with an assistant this time)... and layed out intricate plans for escape from the beach cottage (should neighbors decide to come inside for a 4am nightcap)

* The Sands Motel hosted it's first ever U.S. Senate conference call... Oddly enough, this experience was lost on the locals

* Dined at Rehoboth's new Irish Pub... name not remembered... and got buzzed off of one, ONE, O-N-E beer... sad

* Saw "The Devil Wears Prada" and enjoyed it far more than I liked the book... Anne Hathaway was/is so refreshing, Meryl Streep was killah, and Adrian Grenier is tres, tres adorable

* Enjoyed Delaware finest radio stations ("My name is Marcie, and I'm a Cancer... blah, blah, blah, blah... something, something "answer")

* Royal Farms coffee and Berger cookies for breakfast

* Beautiful, sunny day on beach... with which I totally tanned/burned my back without realizing it... Damn the comfortable tummy position of optimal beach-book-reading...

* Went SWIMMING! Failed to see sharks, sting-rays or other ocean-dwellers

* Grudgingly drove back... the lack of traffic, however, was enjoyable (NOT enjoyable: the "Pete Sessions" and "GWBush" election stickers on the SUV in front of us)

All-in-all... Successful in every aspect. Life is good.
