20220619-Father's Day

今年父親節恰逢星期一Juneteenth紀念日形成一個3天連假，感覺街道人車都不多，不若往年到傍晚時分，到處都飄著木炭烤肉味，這樣一個靜謐的節日生活也很好，很適合DIY給車子做個保養，傍晚我們到巷口的竹屋餐廳外帶幾樣菜，剛好孩子們也都開始放暑假了，凸哥主廚特製一個新口味的藍莓焦糖卡士達蛋糕來慶祝父親節，用微酸的藍莓來調和甜膩卡士達醬，又佐以焦糖片豐富的口感，配上一壺中低溫現沖的菊花白茶，實在很享受。

20210620-Father's Day and RPYO concert

凸媽做蛋糕主體，凸弟設計最後完工來慶祝父親節。凸哥中午就出門為下午3點RPYO的音樂會做最後的團練。我們2點半就出門但是好位置早就被占滿了，我們只好坐在太陽之下的廣場，還好車上有傘，我們寧願坐後面一點(盡量不擋到人)也要撐傘。

Sun June 20 RPYO Rehearsal and Concert — CanalSide Tent at the Jewish Community Center at 1200 Edgewood Ave. 

• Concert at 3:00~4:30PM
• Patrons bring their own lawn chairs—seating all general admission.自備椅子
• Expect a pretty big crowd of about 300 people. The capacity of the venue is 500 so we should be OK for social distancing.
• All students will sit “in the playing area” during the concert even though they may NOT be playing during some of the pieces. It is much too difficult to move around and reset between pieces. 
• Doors open at 2:15PM (rehearsal may still be going on so arrive quietly)
• Usher parents arrive about 2:00-2:15PM. 
• Food and drinks may be brought in for personal consumption only
• Masks must be worn in common areas, along the entry path but may be removed once seated.
• Patrons should be vaccinated or have tested negative for Covid within the prior 3 days.
• Patrons should sit socially distanced from other non-associated patrons.
• All audience members will be seated in the sun—there is NO shade anywhere in the audience area. . 
• Concert is free and no tickets are needed but registration is required for concert attendance. Register here: https://irenenarotsky.wufoo.com/forms/x1rd23ke1wmnj9t/

熱到不行，還好車裡有傘
