I'm still recovering from possibly one of the b-u-s-i-e-s-t Purple Patios ever. Wow. How do people drink so much at 8 am? It was insanity. That and lack of sleep consumed my weekend.

Crabs at Dockside Friday night - and they were the best crabs I've had all season. FATTIES. Then went to the Parrot for a few.
Saturday, wine tasting party.
Sunday, started to dream of a victorious season - or at least a season better than last year - thanks to Joe Flacco. How hot was it at the game? I wish there was no smoking out in the concession area, too.
