Tune Up
Last October, during what should have been a routine dental checkup and cleaning for Miles , I was asked for permission to do a full-scan mouth x-ray as well. The dentist seemed concerned, so I consented. A few minutes later … Continue reading
Living in this darkworld
Someone and the Somebodies was the first local band I saw perform, but the first band I reviewed when I returned to Boston was the Dark, a quirky quintet with a hyperkinetic punky sound and a black (uh, dark) sense … Continue reading
Reverse Engineering a Memory
Twenty eight years ago I “discovered” The Daily Catch, a restaurant in Boston’s North End. I usually didn’t bother with Italian restaurants — I cooked my own pasta & sauce, and anything more exotic could be supplied by Mon when … Continue reading

Katsu Curry
The Super 88 may be the best food court in Boston, but in Cambridge that honor goes to the Porter Exchange and its collection of Japanese (and one Korean) eateries. One hole-in-the wall place there stands out from the rest: … Continue reading
Classic Macaroni and Cheese
I haven’t posted anything in a week, the week from hell, in which I had to launch two web sites. The relative ease of working with one of my clients made the experience with my other client (actually, my other … Continue reading
