Last weekend we drove over to the Olympic Peninsula and went for a walk on the Dungeness Spit. It's a 5-mile long sandbar that is probably most famous for being the discovery place of the Dungeness crab. I was hoping we could catch a crab and have it for dinner, but we didn't see any live crabs, just some crab shells and lots of birds.
The seagulls made me jealous because they kept eating clams right in front of us. They would fly up and drop the clams on the rocks below, then swoop down and feast. This was fun to watch but it eventually made us hungry enough to hike back to the car and drive to Port Townsend where we watched the NBA playoffs and got some steamed mussels and clams and some really tasty fried oysters.
For those of you who don't know, the NBA playoffs are closing in on the end of week 2 and tonight is game 5 of the big Celtics - Hawks series. We've been watching lots of the games (which is kind of tough because we don't have cable TV) and I've been learning a lot about the players and the sport from Heather. (It's fun to get weird looks from macho bartenders who quickly realize that I don't know anything about basketball, but my girlfriend does.)
Even if you dont like basketball, you should tune in tonight to help me figure out how Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson keeps his moustache so impeccably neat and tidy. It's amazing! My new theory is that it's actually a fake moustache molded out of plastic that he just glues on his face right before game time.
Okay, I'm gonna go out on the balcony and repot some plants now. Have a good wednesday.
ps. This Saturday is the first Saturday in May. Which is one of my favorite holidays: Free Comic Book Day. Everybody be sure to stop by your local comic book shop and pick up your free book. Stop pretending you're not a nerd.
