And you know, folks, that's what it is tonight. An Open Thread.
I will repeat my suggestions for meet-ups during the spring and into the summer, but that's all I can provide for you this evening. There's plenty of news in Michigan; I just don't have the time to recap it today. My apologies!
At long last, we have a day and time for our March meet-up: Saturday, March 28, at 5:00 PM, at Taqueria Mi Pueblo ( 7278 Dix Rd, Detroit, 48209; 313-841-3315). Should be good, right? Let me know in the comments if you can attend.
We have a suggestion from 2thanks for an April meet-up: Sweet Potato Sensations, in Northwest Detroit (on Lahser, across from the Redford Theater).
Here's their FB page.This restaurant is starting to create a lot of buzz, so it might be a great place for us to check out. Not too inconvenient for us west-siders who are outside of the city, too.
Lastly, for now, let's keep in mind the special exhibit at the DIA: Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit. The exhibit opens on March 15th and closes on July 12th, so I'll be flogging it pretty regularly till we decide on a time to go together. ;)
OK, I will suggest another theme for us tonight: any harbingers of spring by you? This afternoon, I heard a male cardinal's territory song. That was exciting! And somehow (I don't know how, since it's still snowy and icy where I am) the birds have not been besieging my feeders so much this week. So there is hope for a turn of seasons, soon.
I'm going to put up a poll, too, re Daylight Savings Time, due to reappear this Sunday. My vote: LOATHE it. Wish we could just stay on it all year round.
All right, now the floor is yours!
