Summer's here and the time is right...

...for dancing in the streets.
Especially if you like the heat!  Okay, summer is not really here yet (it's only June 4th), but the heat has arrived extra early and shows no sign of leaving.  Ahh, sizzle, sizzle.

Time to seek out cool, dark rooms with larger 90 minute (or better) than life escapism--AKA, MOVIES!

That is just an observation that has nothing to do with anything, really.  'Just wanted to share a little quick observation to get this blog going...somewhere.

In the future, look for more observations, pithy and otherwise, on a variety of topics, often related to dining/cooking, storytelling & other performance, education...and other assorted things/topics which strike my fancy.  Perhaps I'll even share a bit more about who I am sometime soon.

Here's a morsel for you to chew on, especially if you live in the south suburbs of Chicago, or Northwest Indiana area...

A simply delicious and very reasonably priced out of the ordinary dining experience is to be had at

The appetizers (from baba ghannouj, to tabouli, to walnut stuffed prunes wrapped in turkey bacon--try them and then pass judgement!) are so fantastic that you could easily make a meal of them, but you'll want to try one of  their exquisitely seasoned, perfectly cooked kabobs (chicken, lamb or beef).  If, like me, you are too full for dessert, don't worry, they always bring you a two-bite homemade chocolate (with raisins and almonds) that will melt in your mouth and make you promise yourself to return sometime soon to this culinary jewel.

Enough from me...what about you?  I'm off to see the new X-Men movie.
