Recuperation journey 2.0: Looking at the sky
I'll call this 'hidden moon.' I tried to get a shot of this morning's waning crescent moon but clouds came over quickly. It's slightly visible through the bare branches.

Griffin Bariatrics in Derby to offer virtual seminars on weight-loss
DERBY – Griffin Bariatrics will offer free virtual presentations on its weight-loss services throughout April.
Led by Griffin Hospital Director of Bariatrics Dr. Abe Fridman, these seminars will explain how bariatric surgery can help patients lose significant amounts of weight, enhance their health, and provide long-term well-being. Additionally, techniques, support programs, pre- and post-operative expectations, and insurance questions are also discussed.
Upcoming seminars will be held on April 1 from 5:30-6:30 p.m.; April 15 from 5:30-6:30 p.m.; and April 22 from 12-1 p.m.
Griffin Hospital established its comprehensive weight loss surgery program, Griffin Bariatrics, to provide a medical solution for patients with more substantial weight loss needs.
The long-term success enjoyed by Griffin Bariatrics patients is a result of excellent medical care, including the latest minimally invasive surgical procedures, combined with access to a full range of multidisciplinary services that have been assembled to support them before, during, and after their surgery.
To register, contact Bariatric Care Specialist Kimberly Fisher at kfisher@griffinhealth.org or 203-732-7108.

'Turnback Tuesday' features Derby Street Railway 'open car'
Turnback Tuesday remembers a form of early transportation. This image is of Derby Street Railway electric “open car”.
Car # 21 is a double-ended car, with two motors and set of controls on both ends. Thus eliminating the turntable. With having the car as an “open car” it allowed fresh breezes while traveling in the summer months.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
