Ed and I took Michael and his girlfriend, Brittany, out to dinner at a nice Italian restaurant, Liberatore’s, in Owings Mills. This was for his eighteenth birthday, Tuesday being his real birthday. We made plans to do this on Satuday but I didn’t quite realize that when he said he was on his own that he really meant he was on his own for his birthday.

Michele had to organize and speak at a conference for work out in Deep Creek and Justin and the other kids drove up to spend some time through Tuesday. Michael had to work at home in Hanover, PA, so he couldn’t go with them.

Michael and Brittany came back and hung out with Ed and me until about 9 PM. I finally got Michael to update his Geni profile. While we chatted about genealogy, Brittany mentioned that one of her ancestors was Wyatt Earp! She didn’t quite realize how cool that was so we looked him up on Wikipedia. Then Michael wanted to know about his ancestor who signed the Declaration of Independence, George Read.
