What a great weekend line-up of fun activities we have in town this week! Saturday morning there’s a wellness workshop at the library. Dance is in the title, which always is a draw for me. The musical, “Say It Ain’t So, Joe,” at the Mosesian, could be your Saturday night entertainment. It’s a political satire about Biden and Palin. Maybe it will make us forget the current election. Don’t get dressed Sunday morning, but instead head to the Majestic 7 (maybe in a bathrobe too?) for a PJ party and film, “The Wild Robot.” After the movie, I suppose you should get dressed then, and head out to get some requisite steps in with a walking tour of Charles Brigham buildings in town. What a talented architect we raised in our town, back in the 1800s! Sunday evening, you can dance again at the Sons of Italy Dinner Dance. I wonder, is DJ Sandro Russo related to the history tour guide, David Russo? It reminds me how we all miss ye old Russo’s market.
