Since tonight I meet with

Since tonight I meet with the Dante readers, I will not work on the monster post about music and moral theology. Look for it Friday or Saturday. Sorry, but Paradiso calls.

Speaking of Paradiso, for those of you in the Bay Area, on Friday please pick up a copy of the Oakland Trib, the San Mateo Times, the Alameda Times, The Argus, or the Tri-Valley Herald, as my review of Paradiso in San Leandro will appear. I gave it a good rating, and highly recommend this restaurant. Read all about it!

I did not put this story in it, but the first time we went there, we were in North Beach. Our car was parked at the San Leandro BART, and it was dinner time. I was thinking that we should just eat at one of the great Italian restaurants in North Beach. Melanie said, "oh, let's just eat in the East Bay!" Figuring that she meant the tacqueria, I agreed. When we got into our car, she said, "let's go to this place in San Leandro."

I said, "fine! What sort of place is it?"

"Italian"

"What!?! You mean we left North Beach to eat Italian food in San Leandro?!? Are you out of your mind?"

"Just wait and see."

Well, we have been back several times. It is a great place. I will talk about it more here later, but not until the review runs in the paper.
