TBW Daily Diary

A belated happy birthday to Jason Hess, our neighbor and acting city solicitor; he celebrated yesterday . . . JJ and I paid an Internet visit to Amazon.com and after some exploration settled on a two-disc set of Tom & Jerry. Bugs Bunny was in the running, but only briefly. I also wanted to order JJ the old 1950s Treasure Island and explained that it was about a young boy with a treasure map and pirates; he wasn't convinced at first and asked to look at the cover. Once he saw it, the DVD was a "go." Hopefully I'll get the loan of it at some point . . . Neighbor Betty Holmboe tried out the new Cribari's Restaurant in the space that once housed Nonna's on Reily Street opposite the Midtown Cinema. She gave it a good review and said it would be a nice addition to the area that also boasts Brothers' Pizza, Ciervo's and Breads and Spreads . . .
