Here are a few non-barbecue ideas for Memorial Day if you're sticking around here:

 --Watch the dreaded Yankees play the Orioles at Camden Yards.

--Visit Fort McHenry, which will hold observances throughout the day, including wreath-layings and a flag demonstration involving veterans at noon.

--Tell your kids great, happy stories about a relative they never got to know, and point out that you'll always remember that person.

--Take in Westminster's Memorial Day parade, starting at 10 a.m. along Main Street.

--Get thee to D.C. for a day trip. Here's our recent story on some of the newest museums, which look to be open on Memorial Day.

What are your plans?
