It is definitely Autumn. The day began with sun that turned to cloud into the afternoon. Before the rain began, I did some grocery shopping and filled the car with gas. The highlight of the day was dinner out with a friend at our wonderful restaurant with a fantastic chef. We shared a great tuna two ways appetizer. I had a tasty pasta with chicken and a Jus with cream sauce. The wine was a lovely malbec. It had been a while since we were out together, so we had a lot to catch up on. We had great conversation. When we left the restaurant, it had gone from pouring rain to a lighter rain -- steady, but not soaking.
The restaurant had been very busy tonight. The front area had been closed to a larger group with a presentation of some sort. In the back area, we had our table of two and two larger tables for six and 10, respectively. These were tables of men who take fishing trips in the fall to go out with the tuna fleet from north of town. I wondered if our tuna came from the catch this week. (se don't see fresh locally caught tuna often as it is sold on the dock with lots going overseas). We have been out for dinner several times in the past when groups of tuna fishers were present. The noise level was loud but not as bad as I've experienced with smaller tables on other nights <smile>. We commented on how great it was to see a full dining room. Things have been tight over the late summer and early fall, so events like those tonight help keep places open.
The overhead music at the restaurant plays music for boomers and retro folks. I love being reminded of the memories that some songs bring. One group had a couple of songs playing while we were out today. I chose to share one of these, but then decided to use a cover instead of the original. I do like this version, too. Keep safe. Enjoy!
