Went out for dinner & cocktails with a friend. Had a great cocktail (mezcal &... stuff) and some absolutely killer brussel sprouts with "herbed yogurt" and brown butter. So good.

The sky watching yesterday went well. There were probably 60-70 people there, from toddlers to senior citizens. There were a number of cannon-sized telescopes, which everyone got to look through.

Fun! Did you see any meteors or satellites?
