Tues 19 Nov

Evening off from Suzuki tonight as Mary has to attend a funeral. Hoping to get places reserved for the Chef's Dinner at Michele's on Thurs evening. If we can get in, we'll be sitting with Chuck and Deb, Lee and Gary, and Dave and Renee Rosenthal. What a party! I was going to cut back on my fancy eating for awhile, and now we have reserved the Chef's Dinner on Thursday, and very spontaneously decided to take advantage of the Old Rittenhouse Inn's Friday for Foodies special on Friday night. We are getting a 3rd floor suite that normally rents for $275/night for $225 including a 5-course dinner for two and continental breakfast in the morning. We have missed going up there around Thanksgiving for several years because we used to always go on Sunday night and we haven't wanted to miss choir rehearsals just before the Christmas concert. We will likely skip out on their little gig singing carols during intermission at a Sentry arts concert on Saturday, but I don't think we'll be particularly missed.
