Time for "the home"?????

It may be time to start looking for "the home". We had planned to go to the UTC Symphonic Band year-end concert this week. We'd seen it in the program last week, planned to go, and wrote it on the calendar. Every place we saw it, and wrote it down said it was for Wednesday, 15 April. But somehow, we got it in our heads that it was Thursday night. So this morning, I checked to verify the time, and OOPS! DAMN! it was last night! So much for best laid plans.

Signs of economic hard times: The small restaurant where our lunch group meets on Thursdays is closing tomorrow. The building has been for sale for about six months, with no takers. The owner told us today that their business is down about 60% since the first of the year. These are such nice people, and have welcomed our weird, noisy group. I hate that they're having to close. So now we'll be looking for another place to gather. Getting fairly good food for a reasonable price is always important. But, of course, the main reason we gather is for the camaraderie of these nutty people.

Today's photo is from the Astronomy Picture of the Day. It's of a castle in Nice, France, and the full moon.
