We usually invite a group of the frienly natives over on Friday night. Though many of the regulars are now retired, we started doing this when most all of them were still working, so we do it on Friday. I have to run over to the Netherlands tomorrow morning, but I'll be back in the afternoon, in time to help cook, and then hang with our friends when they start arriving in the evening.

We lost Art years ago, but his wit lives on.
