A Funny Moment
Marsha Dhingra and I met for dinner a few nights ago. Just as we were beginning to eat our salads, a family sat at the table next to us – mom, dad, uncle, 10 or 11-year-old boy, 7 or 8-year-old girl. They weren't especially loud and did not intrude on our tete-a-tete while we caught... Learn More
