So MLK Day was a Day of Eating for ol’ Matt as I met up with the fine people of DonRockwell.com at New Kam Fong in Wheaton, MD.  What transpired was a feast of Cantonese food partaken by 17 adults and 8 kids in all.

Saturday has been a busy day…well, busy by my lazy standards.  This morning I went to have my blood let and got a sweet button and pin proclaiming that. I then went to my local library’s “Friends of” semi-annual booksale.
