Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night

UPDATE: We had lunch at BB this past Saturday, January 12, and I remembered one of the dishes I liked so much at Max’s … the tiny and light gnocchi in blush sauce. You can go home again. Now back to an earlier review: Well, it wasn’t night, but it was Blackbird …  Dining Establishment, that … [Read more…]

Some Recent Photos of Little “E”

We recently spent 10 days visiting family on the left coast in the east bay area.  What made the visit particularly exciting this time (we love visiting California anytime), was the opportunity to baby sit for our grandson Enzo.  Adrienne and Colleen would be celebrating Adrienne’s birthday at a charming little inn on the Russian … [Read more…]

7 Days in California

In the middle of a very busy semester at Temple University, we decided to go West to see our grandboy, Enzo.  Of course we also wanted to see our daugter Adrienne and her partner Colleen, as well as Judy’s sister Karen and husband Chuck, but were anxious to see Enzo before he started walking.  He … [Read more…]

A Pretty Good Lunch Buffet

I needed to find a place to take nine very hungry techno employees that wasn’t too pricey but would satisfy a group of big eaters, so I took them for lunch at Bistro DiMarino. It was a big hit.  For $10 per person, the restaurant offers an Italian salad selection (caprese, gorgonzola/pear, and caesar), a … [Read more…]

The November Election

By now we all know the Busch team took a thumpin’. In light of the Republican loss, Michael Smerconish posted a 15 point political beliefs platform, covering everything from where he stands on Bin Laden to his views on gays.  I believe he did this to answer critics who accuse him of being a liberal, … [Read more…]
