When The Moon Hits Your Eye.
I've never really been in love with food like I'm about to tell you. But, one day I was walking up and down the hall of fame in the late 80's, young and impressionable, I thought the world is my oyster, I was up for anything, suddenly my stomach began to growl, letting me know that it was time to eat. I looked up and down Hollywood Boulevard and while there were many eateries, nothing caught my eye, until I began to cross Las Palmas avenue I looked to the right of me, nothing. ThenI looked to the left of me going south and there it was, Miceli's an Italian restaurant that has apparently been in business for a long time, so I decided to give it a try.

A penny for your thoughts
I had no idea what I was thinking when I suddenly found myself opening the door to our neighborhood ASPCA. At best I was looking for a friend who wouldn’t betray me. A confidant who wouldn’t tell my secrets. A protector who wouldn’t let anything or anyone get the best of me. At worst we’d see each other’s bad habits and hopefully just be there for each other.

Birds of a feather
I thought to myself, 'never judge a book by it's cover'. I have been living my entire life this way until I noticed that there were at least twelve different books to sort through if I were going to make sense of this crazy world and the people in it.
