While this is rather late in the week (I try to get these up by Wednesday morning at the latest), there’s still plenty of things to do this week, including two art exhibition openings and a concert.

My apologies to anyone who looked for the posting earlier in the week and didn’t find it. I endeavor for punctual postings and it is unfortunate that I feel short.
