In between then and now, we went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/madisonsymphony.org\/kern\">premier concert<\/a> of the Madison Symphony Orchestra, and tried out a new-to-Madison restaurant (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.miafrancesca.com\/restaurants\/lago\/index.asp\">#21 of a Chicago area chain<\/a>).\u00a0 Nothing that we ate there &#8211; a pasta bolognase, and fish frito misto, plus tomato bruschetta, and a salad &#8211; was a new and unusual taste, but it was all well-prepared, and moderately priced.

finally brushed the taste of the over-garlicky kale salad we got for our dinner out of my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>And now, <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m not dead, I&#8217;m in Pittsburgh.<br \/>\n<a
