But hey! And hi!

The Suburbs: Best Spot for Slurping Pho and Sipping a Martini Where I live, on the Far South Side of Chicago, dining out used to mean pizza, fried chicken, or fast food, while drinking destinations were of the beer-only tavern variety. But when this…

When the French-accented Vietnamese and Thai restaurant Thithi’s

Sinners at home isn't as beautiful as it was on the big screen. There was something abt the lighting at the theater that was lost in my home viewing.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
