Most workdays, a group of us -- currently all women -- get together and walk for half an hour. Nowadays mostly indoors. About a week ago, one of our troup had been delayed by a meeting and thus missed the walk. She and I exchanged phone numbers so if she doesn't respond to the "who's coming" e-mail I can call her to verify ( Read more... )

A while (couple of years?) ago, I noticed "Pilar's Cafe" going in at 2285 South State St. Didn't know what ethnicity it was, but the one time I went there I got a very yummy tamale meal.
