5-Day Weekends

Thursday, October 25th/18 

This will be the first weekend in three that we do not have a concert to attend.  There are several we could attend, but it's time for a weekend at home.  I do not miss the Thursday teaching at all, and am very happy to work only two afternoon/evenings a week.  Some may complain that a weekend lasting only five days is not nearly enough.  However, I don't agree.  A two-day work week seems ideal!  I had a book waiting for me at the Dearborn mailbox, and there was a new vegan restaurant we wanted to try.  We crossed at the bridge, having to wait in line a long time, as only 3 car lanes were open.  There was some kind of training going on.  But guess what?  Just as we finally got up to the booth, the other lanes began to open.  Ain't life funny?  At least coming back we scored, getting right up to a booth on the Windsor side, with no waiting.

The restaurant is called "Unburger," and features 3 main types of burger, each in two styles.  There are many other things on the menu as well, but we came to try the burgers.  Priced at only $7, they filled us without ordering any sides.  And they were delicious!  We did bring home a piece of vegan chocolate cake for later.  Yesterday was the full moon, but I taught from 4 pm till 7:30.  No time to bake, or even celebrate.  And tonight it is overcast, whereas it has been very clear for several nights in a row.  Hmm, must be heading towards the astronomy session again.   

October has been way colder than average.  It is usually our nicest month of the year.  However, October seems to have been replaced by November, with consistently below average temps.  I wonder what November will bring.... 

Piano practice has been hit or miss this week.  Jenn G. visited all day Monday, so there was no opportunity there.  We had an all day beer sampling session, though, and even managed an outdoor walk.  I haven't seen Jenn in ages.  I get the feeling she might want to move back to B.C.  She is currently living in the cesspool that is central southern Ontario, which is quickly being turned into one giant suburb.  I can't blame her for not liking it there.  Today I managed an hour, as I did yesterday and Tuesday.  So I have big hopes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Piano practice will be mixed in with yard work, which is on-going.  And that doesn't even count leaves.  Just catching up on summer growth that needs to be tamed.
