Karate Tournament

Today I experienced the shortest Pep Band gig in the history of the band. There was a Karate Tournament at the Downtown Hilton in Baltimore, and we were booked to play the Star Spangled Banner for their opening ceremonies. No concert, nothing else, just the Star Spangled Banner. Quick and easy.
Tom wanted to come with me, so that we could spend time together, and then go to Wal-Mart afterwards. On the way to Wal-Mart, we stopped at Friendly's, hopefully for breakfast, but ultimately for lunch. I got the soup and salad combo, New England Clam Chowder in a sourdough bread bowl with Caesar salad.

It was tasty, but I like my clam chowder much better.
