DR Chas, growing up the only really good pizza, IMHO, was LaBarbera's.

I recognize the name, but where was it?

1813 Wilshire Boulevard.

I already gave the address above - it's 11813, near Barrington.

There will be a runoff election at the end of May, so more hours coming my way.

I hope they are as hard on you as they were this time.  How are you doing today?

Is this work you like doing, or is it for the paycheck?

Not exactly Boston, however, Keith loved a pizza place in Cambridge. After eating it for lunch as it was close to his office, and raving about it, he finally stopped for takeout on his was home. The kids and I weren't as thrilled with the pizza as he was and that was probably due to the fact that there were walnuts on it ;D

ASAP: As soon as practical. And it ain’t practical anytime soon.

The pizza in New Haven, Conn., is justifiably famous. The clams on top made it that much better.

ChasSmith, don't forget to watch the Frenzy comparison. Also, LaBarbera's was at 11813 Wilshire Blvd near Barrington.

I've watched half so far, will finish up in a bit. It's AMAZING what a score does to a movie. At some moments (in this as well as other examples I've seen), it's almost like two different films.

I was not too big a fan of Chicago deep-dish pizza. It was more reminiscent of a casserole than pizza. But I had a low-carb version with a sausage crust that was memorable.

I'd done a parody that ended with an attempt to combine and reconcile the two Priscilla Lopez songs.

Listening to an odd novel called Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert, by Bob the Drag Queen. It’s short, and I am enjoying it.

I agree about the New Haven pizza, just not the clams ;D

Last night we watched "The Friend" and unfortunately wished we had skipped it.  For us there was never any joy in the film, which is not what I expected.
