Crabs: Even the NYTimes Has It...

Tomorrow I will be leading my first tour at the museum, and while I am still a little nervous about picking up the crab in the shedding tank to teach about parts of the crab, I am still pretty excited to share my newly acquired Bay knowledge with a bunch of sixth graders!

Apparently this is the time of year that makes people think of crab feasts, as evidenced by the recent article and recipes in the NYTimes about how to properly enjoy your Chesapeake Blues! Interested? Read more here.

In other news, I almost called this post "Just Missed the Boat" as that is literally what happened to my roommate and me this evening. At lunch we both expressed our profound interest in getting out on the water and learning to sail to the curator who races with the museum. Maura got a call that we could meet the boat and head out this evening, but as we were literally 200 yards from the dock, she got another call that the boat had already left leaving us as land-lubbers for the evening. Instead we went to the pizza shop for calzones. Small sacrifices.
