Then we tried out the new restaurant downtown where the Hook and Ladder Deli used to be. None of the businesses who moved in after the Hook and Ladder succeeded so I hope this one does. It's called Aloe Vera Eatery and it's owned by one of my former students. The decorations are elegant and fashionable, very appealing to women. And the food was good, too. I had a pecan pear salad which was tasty, but I'm pretty sure they forgot the dressing. Steve had clam chowder and a crab salad wrap. Nice variety. We will definitely try it again.
After that, I worked more on the partner schools chapter. It's coming along very well and I'm sure it will be ready for Penelope review next Sunday. Tomorrow, I will have another entire day to write since Steve will be working on sets. I'm going to tackle another chapter from the easy column in the morning and then continue work on partners.
Despite the strong winds, we had a lovely walk around town. Trees I photographed in all their splendor are nearly bare today. There's little color left.
We topped off the night with the Evening of Music, formerly known as Evening of Theater. It was poorly publicized and the audience was very skimpy, almost entirely parents. What the heck are we doing here, I thought. We were hoping for a pleasant surprise, one of those unknown seniors who never got around to auditioning for the musical but was secretly super talented. Didn't happen.
One brother and sister duo were terrific, but it turns out he already graduated. The young lady will be auditioning in December however. Kate was awesome as always. She is such a pro and has great stage presence. Graciela was also wonderful. The young man who will be seeking the lead was uneven. When he catches the right pitch, his voice is beautiful, but he was inconsistent and he's easily led astray by an off pitch partner.
Molly got us up at 6 am, crying and crying for breakfast. She always has trouble with the time change and it's very annoying!
