Copeland's

[marathoner452]

So apparently there are three Copeland's restaurants in Maryland-Columbia, Rockville, and Annapolis. Sounds like one place locally where I can get my creole/cajun food fix and get hurricanes, maybe even hurricanes served in the special glasses. Anyone game?

In other news, disaster education presentations start on Monday with a tornado safety presentation at Carroll Manor Elementary. I have a total of 5 presentations next week but only three the week after that because Frederick County Schools are on Spring Break, as is The Banner School. I also have the Hurricane Season 2005/Pre-Hurricane Season 2006 Debriefing Picnic Monday evening. They certainly do keep me busy around here, and that's a good thing because I got used to being busy on deployment and wouldn't know what to do without 8 different things going at once.

I also did my first post-deployment speedwork training with the Flying Feet running group last night. 2x800 meters in 4:17 and 4:13 with a warm up and cooldown for a total of about 3 miles. My legs aren't too terribly happy with me today but they'll just have to deal with it because I needed to run hard last night.

I'm also helping out at my high school band's concession stand tonight. I'll be right at home because I'll be serving food wearing those hot, sticky plastic gloves that we love to hate. :-)

Speaking of being busy, back to work.

You know I'm game for Copeland's, or any dinner with you, at that. And since there's one in the city I'll be staying in next week...:-)

Bravo on your speedwork. That's a great start back into getting yourself back into it. And have a great time at the concession stand tonight. Hope we can talk sometime soon.

By the way, did you ever get a chance to read my rant and that article I sent you yesterday?

What the flying hell? I had no idea Copeland's had locations even outside of LA, let alone this far north. That's just a few minutes away from me. How bizarre.

I remember when I was a kid, all my friends' parents used to take people out to Copelands as the default place to go to dinner. My parents, however, thought it was horribly tacky, as did Anne Rice, who proceeded to get into this long editorial battle with him one year in the Times Picayune over renovating old ("historic!") buildings into garish architectural anomolies. Hahaha, I love New Orleans.

Already did, and commented back. I also posted something you might like in my journal.

I'd prefer the Gumbo Shop (where I ate my first night in New Orleans), or K-Paul's (there's a long story behind that), or Bacco's for Katrina-Ritas, or Cafe du Monde for early-morning beignets and fresh-squeezed oj, but up here in Maryland we can't be too picky when it comes to New Orleans food. :-)
