The Dayton Art Institute has a "free w/e" two or three times a year.....
Every 2 or 3 years the wife remembers....not that the admission price is a big problem - just that she's reminded that there is an art museum 40 mins away.
I worked at a psych hosp for 14 yrs just up the street - and often took my lunch on the grounds of the DAI. The DAI was also on my rotation of destinations for weekly patient outings. Do "Fridays X 14yrs" - guess how many times the DAI came around!?

Rainy old day anyway.
Come along with Mrs. Stig and the Major to the DAI.

I might be a stalker.....


anyone else notice how eager are Ohioans for art? Might have been more staff than patrons....
