Grill at Central Market & Main St Arts.

Thrill of the Grill is Central Market's second largest event of the year (Hatch Chili festival is first). Central Market is a great place at this time of year, especially when you can taste-test the grilled foods.

From the Central Market website:

Fire up the grill and join us for our annual kick-off of the summer grilling season. It's our biggest springtime event, and second only to our Hatch Chile Festival (coming in August - it's never too early to start thinking Hatch!) in size and scope. We'll be grilling everything we can get our tongs on, and you can be sure it'll all taste great! Come see us for recipes, demos, cooking classes, wine pairing ideas, in-store deals... just come see us! Live Music on the Patio, too!
Friday, 4/17, 6-9 p.m. - The Last Chance Band (Oldies, Rock, Blues, R&B, Country) Saturday, 4/18 2-4 p.m. - Matt Wayne (Texas Country) 4:30-6:30 p.m. - Joey Green Band (Country Punk/Rock) 7-9 p.m. Sam Anderson & the Thrift Store Troubadours (Roots Music/Folk Rock/Blues)

Good Friday, in the Year of Our Lord, 2009

The Raising of the Cross
Peter Paul Rubens/ 1610

----------------------------------------------
Years ago, as I recall, on the Friday before Easter, between noon and 3pm, my mother would make sure that we three children were inside and silent, or at least playing quietly. I think we had some idea as to why, that this was the time that Christ had died and descended into hell and that everyone should observe these hours with solemnity.

We respected my mother's wish, watching the clock as we did. And looking outside.

I remember Good Friday being dark and cloudy.

Saint-Emilion. Again. Kind of.

My son, Stephen, went to Saint-Emilion for his anniversary a couple nights ago. I asked him to write a review of it.

He did.

Here it is:

"Saint Emilion: best restaurant I have ever been to in my life."

Maybe I should have more specific about how long the review should be. High praise, nevertheless.
