I had dinner with some SF-world friends early in the evening yesterday: John Klima, Will Smith, and Gavin Grant. Chinese food at the foot of the Manhattan Bridge on Canal Street. Not great, but good. Then we walked up to KGB to hear Rick Bowes read a section from his upcoming novel, From the Files of the Time Rangers. I ducked out before the evening's second reader so I could hop a cab to Astoria, let Ella out of her crate, and take her for a walk.

A few blocks from home, I spotted an eyebrow-raising announcement on the sign out in front of the humble little neighborhood Baptist church:

ASTORIA BAPTIST CHURCH

50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

"EXPANDING OUR HORIZONS"

SUN WORSHIP   11:00 AMBoy, they are expanding their horizons, aren't they?

[4/23 correction: I passed this church again last night, and I saw that I misremembered the sign. It actually said, "Expanding our territory." Sun worship, though, is still in effect.]
