It was a week of many firsts: 1) we played Mahjongg for money with the local ladies (and, teehee, took most of theirs for our piggy bank); 2) we ate at Dynasty, which, according to some local rag, is the "best" Chinese joint in the area, but frankly we liked P. F. Chang's better: Dynasty's version of General Tso's Chicken was a syrupy mess and our vegetable dish didn't arrive at the table until the chicken was nearly gone 3) we tried the "best" pizza, and lo and behold, it might actually be up there with the best pizza we've ever eaten: Pizza by the Sea is definitely a do again! 4) in search of the South Ferry geocache, we tooled around Point Washington on the eastern edge of SoWal and extended our sense of the lay of the land 5) drumroll . . . we finally bought a paella pan (Scotty? oh Scotty . . .) and 6) we started our little truck garden in the back yard.

Almost as good when we reheated it for supper
We got within 3 feet of the damn geocache, but have to come back with sturdy shoes & gloves.
