In the New Yorker...

Front-Ranger:
That was a good article! I profiled Sean Sherman in my blog four months ago and since then he's appeared in the NY Times and now the New Yorker. It's nice being ahead of the crowd sometimes.

Fry bread can be really awful but it can also just be sort of like a tortilla and if you put the right toppings on it, it can be very delicious.

I've liked fry bread when I've had it, though it's been years.

But I've never been to that restaurant! I've got several possible opportunities coming up. Today is my son's birthday, 10 days ago was my ex-husband's birthday and one week from now is my birthday. Per family tradition, we always go out to at least a couple of nice dinners to celebrate. Then my other son is coming up from Chicago on the 15th, so another opportunity for fun restaurant visits.

Unfortunately, I bet Owamni is pretty hard to get into at this point.

Meanwhile, though, my stepmother is taking me to lunch on my birthday at the city's newest fanciest acclaimed restaurant, where the bronzini costs $70 and the servers can make upward (according to the son who's a waiter) of $200,000.

You're probably right about that.

Today is October 4. As of yesterday's mail delivery, I have not received the issue that should have the cover date of yesterday, Monday, October 3.

Usually I get my issue ahead of the cover date.  ???

Same situation here. Although I'm always so behind I can't keep track of when they're supposed to come. Usually just as I'm about to settle in with a new issue, there's another one in the mailbox.
