We went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikescrabhouse.com\/\">Mike&#8217;s Crab House<\/a> at the recommendation of a classmate, and it was great. We sat outside by the water and watched a family of ducks while we made total messes of ourselves with crabs &#8211; yummy! We also drove through downtown <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitannapolis.org\/index.asp\">Annapolis <\/a>while we were in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>John started working on the\u00a0Passport Task Force this week (including Saturday), which means he is no longer at the FSI campus. Instead, he&#8217;s working downtown\u00a0and takes\u00a0the Metro to work every day.\u00a0\u00a0Thanks to him, several hundred more people got their passports processed this week. I&#8217;ll start tomorrow morning, too.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, we went with two friends to see the new Harry Potter movie and then out for drinks and a bite to eat afterwards. Again, the weather was so pleasant, we found a good little bar and sat outside. Earlier in the week, we\u00a0enjoyed happy hour (complete with oysters) at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clydes.com\/main\/RestaurantsDetail.cfm?Restaurant=Clydes_of_Gallery_Place&amp;Section=Main\">Clyde&#8217;s <\/a>downtown with our classmates.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, the week was pretty calm. I was in a training class most of the week to learn how to adjudicate passports. The Task Force requires that we work 48 hours per week, so most days John worked 7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., then part of the day on Saturday. I expect to do the same, which is going to require a re-work of my morning routine. I&#8217;ve been going to the gym every morning to walk on the treadmill, but I don&#8217;t think I can continue to do that and still catch the Metro by 6:10 a.m. Hmmmm.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s\u00a0a photo of Noodle sitting in one of his favorite new spots in the apartment (above the refrigerator).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/100_2776.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-234\" title=\"100_2776\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/100_2776-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" \/><\/a><a title=\"100_2776.JPG\" href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/100_2776.JPG\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue Crab and Blue Moon The weather this weekend has been incredible, so we drove up near Annapolis today to have crabs.
