Happy New Year!

As Topel once sang, Tradition! How we got from the shtetl outside L'vov to Buca di Beppo on Scottsdale Road is a matter unto itself (first novel, anyone?), but suffice to say that plates of eggplant parmiagana bigger than truck hubcaps compel one to focus only on the here and now. This is year two of the family in Arizona (whoever happens to be around, which seems to be a growing group) celebrating New Year's Eve at this grottoed Italian eatery and pretty short story rendered even shorter: It's a lot of fun. The kids can make noise, the food pleases everyone, it's an ideal place for socializing with a large group. Enough said, except: Happy 2009!
