Bewildering and Beguiling – A Peter Review
“Peter and the Starcatcher” could have been retitled, “War of the Words.” You have to admire a script that mentions Genghis Kahn, Caesar, Napoleon and Ayn Rand in the same twenty word line. There are puns, jokes, “in” jokes, “out” jokes and perhaps even “in-between” jokes. Sometimes the plays on words are flying about so […]
Male Circumcision – Yes or No?
Outside of religion, what is the need for male circumcision? Female circumcision is too big an issue for me to take on currently. I got the news late but here it is: Genital Integrity Awareness Week 2018 takes place March 28-April 3! Perhaps, we should celebrate. How wide spread is male circumcision (the removal of […]
Sapporo Steakhouse – Restaurant Review
I knew the Sapporo Steakhouse was opening up, but I didn’t plan on eating there on their first day of operation. It just turned out that way. The Japanese Sushi & Hibachi restaurant has a few things to improve, but they have a good start. Sapporo is located in the Green Firs Shopping Center in […]

Where Everybody Doesn’t Know Your Name
“Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got. Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go. Where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.” I always loved the opening theme song of the TV […]
Orfeo, Bright Water, and Brighter Futures
When my wife, Peggy and I were packing for an overnight stay in Seattle I thought to myself, “Why am I doing this?” We were off on a twenty-four hour adventure that would costs us hundreds of dollars, earn us no money, and probably provide a boring evening where we couldn’t hear our friends next […]
Little Europe Café – Restaurant Review
My friend Dick Dorsett and I stopped by the Café and the deli next door originally. The Café was closed, but looked interesting so my wife and I stopped by a few days later for lunch. A number of people asked questions about the Café and deli in person, via Facebook and the article – […]
