I asked Alexander – who actually co-owns the Villa Caffe & Imbibery on Market Street with Robyn Murphy – what the dinner special was for the night. He replied spaghetti, which was thrilling news. After he submitted the order to Murphy in the back kitchen, he reappeared to explain he was in big trouble. Apparently, earlier in the day when Alexander asked her what was for dinner, “spaghetti” was actually THEIR dinner they would eventually enjoy upstairs in their residence. “Oh, I’m in big trouble. She’s quickly making you spaghetti. It will be out a few minutes,” he explained. via Read more…

(Of course, the weekend got started with Friday night's show at the Rialto, which was a pretty good start!) After that, Mary and I got out and enjoyed the sun this weekend.

My friend Vania has been teaching private yoga lessons and at the YMCA for awhile now. Just this past week she started offering morning yoga sessions at Studio 6 Ballroom 4 mornings a week for $10/session. The two weekday classes start at 6:15 and get done before you have to get to work. Personally, I can't remember the last time I saw 6:15.
