The big one

I could feel it in the air when I arrived home after a day trip to Portland to see the Impressionists show at the museum.

It was so cold at 9 p.m. it could make your teeth ache. The sky was clear and the moon was rising.

Perfect weather for a hard frost.

And that was that.

The show was fantastic, but it's not too late. I think it is there through early January.

It is well worth the trip. The three Monets were particularly fascinating, but there were a good many that were awe-inspiring.

After you go, you should go down Forest Avenue, maybe a block or so, to Geo's Patisserie. It's right behind the Eastland. He makes magnificent pastries that defy description -- and they are all made from scratch.
