Rocca Ristorante


We went to this newish Italian restaurant
last night, based on the recommendation
of a client. I had the Rib-eye and Eva had
the Rigatoni which we didn't finished.
They were very good but we didn't expect
the crab cakes to come with a decent
amount of Arugula. I also had the excellent
Minestrone and Eva had the delicious
Warm Spinach salad.
The prices are very reasonable. The chianti was impeccable.
We'll be back!

Being late. Safari. art

Regarding Debi's late attempt to adopt the
Lhasa that wandered into her backyard:

Reminds me of the reason why I'm not
a big Filipino Superstar. The two times
my cousins dragged me to audition for
the top amateur singing show in Manila,
when I was around ten years old, we were
late.

I really like the Safari Beta, seems faster
and more stable and smoother than
Chrome.

Sun is out, it'll be raining starting tomorrow
and all of next week.

Many of you may remember me talking about
my favorite singer/songwriterJane Siberry.

She changed her name to Issa when she turned
50. She posted a question in her email yesterday.
Is it all vanity, Art?
She's pondering if she should get a real job. I guess
being an 'art house' composer/singer doesn't pay all
the bills. Could be the economic mood just made her
even more introspective than she usually is.
I got her first original CD in ten years. I'm hesitant to let
others listen to it. I've had it since November and I'm just
beginning to like it.

Got to work out, still having to squeeze through my size 30
pants. Make use of this beautiful day.
