Dinner and a show

There are odd comments here and there in this blog in praise of the original Kelly's Roast Beef on Revere Beach. One usually associates the place with warm summer days, since you eat outdoors, usually across the street on the seawall or under the pavilion.

Today, as I drove along the beach, I was thinking that maybe that's for weenies. When I say "along the beach" I mean just that. Driving along Revere Beach Boulevard today, I noticed that a sizable part of the beach was on the road. I suppose even more will be there after the early evening high tide on this stormy day.

Storm watching is something of a local pastime. Usually, I walk to do my storm watching, but why not vary the routine, go to Revere Beach and Kelly's? Prudence suggests scheduling this for low tide, since it wouldn't do to bathe the car in salt water. And I expect one would eat in the car, because if one ate on the seawall, the onion rings and cheese fries would get kind of soggy. Would Kelly's be open? I say yes, as long as the power's on and the workers are no more than ankle deep in the ocean. They're kind of tough there.

This may be a plan: now if I can sell the idea at home.
