I don't know exactly how many, but there are maybe a dozen Chinese restaurants within a couple of miles of my house, all of them small places. Most of them are okay. At least two of them are really good. As of yesterday I learned there are at least three really bad ones.

My sister and I meet and go out for lunch once a week. Usually we go to places we've been before, but sometimes we get the urge to try something new. Last week, we wandered into a relatively new chain restaurant in a building vacated by an earlier chain restaurant. The Big Bear Dinner was a pleasant surprise. We'll probaby go back there. The Chinese restaurant we visited yesterday has seen the last of us.

I see there is a new movie opening with the Brothers Grimm as fantasy heroes. Who'd have thunk it? Nerdy academic linguists as big heroes. ;o)
