Thursday, February 28th saw the last regular "Martini Night" at Sbicca
Encinitas, formerly Meritage. The evening started early and ended late.
Tears were shed, stories were shared, there were hugs all around and
there were fond lingering farewells as we went our separate ways.
Sniffle, sniffle, so ends an era. The doors closed for good on Saturday
and the place will soon be reborn as the 3rd Corner Wine Bar, or
something like that. On a brighter note, we all made plans to meet to
Robbie's Roadhouse next Thursday and perhaps another tradition will
begin.
Lorri and I really enjoyed our Thursdays at the Meritage. There we
met and became friends with a lot of great people. Here are a few of
them:
