What to do on a rain-soaked Sunday? Brunch at the Greenwich Grill Greenwich Tavern (thanks, Anne, for the correction), and the Bruce Museum. The museum has outdone itself with three fabulous exhibits! But hurry, they are closing soon!
Alchemy, Magic, Myth or Science? is a mix of art, artifacts, and interactive displays. All you wanted to know about Alchemy and more.
Alexander Calder: Printmaker shows a side of the artist that was not known to me – which doesn't mean much – and highly enjoyable. He even illustrated Aesop's Fables! And there were some mobiles also … and campaign posters for Abe Ribikoff, the Senator from Connecticut. An image is shown on the above page.
And as you walk into the lobby (and continue inside the auditorium) you are greeted by the funniest, scariest, and most outrageous cartoons by Charles Addams, he of the "Addams Family": Charles Addams: Cartoonist. What a bland title …
The cartoon show alone is worth a visit.
Alchemy closes January 3, Addams January 24, and Calder January 31.

Food at the Greenwich Grill was very good too, but the service could have been better. Anne's mother and I recently had an enjoyable weekday lunch there also.
